Chrome shops in the Chicago area
I am reaching out to get suggestions of a good Chrome Plating shop in the Chicago area, looking to get bumpers done, some trim, plus to see if the shop can polish the stainless.

Finishing Touch is proabably one of the best in the business, but big $$$. Not sure if they do bumpers and not sure I'd want to pay for it if they do. Show chrome quality and also SS restoration.

I know it’s not “close by” but s&h metal finishing has done me right on several pieces so far with several more to go and they are a third of Paul’s chrome or advanced plating. If there is a difference between the look of what they do and “show” chrome I’ll be damned if I can tell and I sure as hell don’t wanna pay for it

Haven't see anything 1st hand in years, but Keystone Automotive used to be good around here.

X2, Their work is second to none. But you pay for it.

I think Keystone is now LKQ. LKQ did my bumpers. Took it to the nearest LKQ, they ship it for free. Satisfaction guaranteed, lifetime warranty. About $510 per bumper. No grind marks, no plating defects. I etched my initials on the inner face, got My bumpers back. I highly recommend.
