Pot Metal re-chrome

["Chad Smith" <hemi_powered@xxxxxxx>]

My question on this same subject is what does something like this cost.  On my 59, the metal half circles that split through the rear fin on both sides  back by the tail light are quite pitted.  I would like to have them re-chromed, but what does something like that cost?  Do you suppose that it is compared to a side view mirror size and cost wise?  Any information would be appreciated.  I have not yet checked into any of this for any of my cars. 

 

Thanks.

Subject: IML: Pot Metal re-chrome

Today I took the spare set of Fender mirrors to be re-chromed. No great deal in its self but the plating shop wanted to rework them by only taking off the top layer of chrome & leaving the Nickel plate intact on them.Then chrome over the old nickel etc. The mirrors have no pitting , so I cant tell what sort of Finnish will be achieved, has any one had any re-chrome done via this method ? if so  what did it turn out like.

Regards
