Default Upstate, NY Re-Chroming ???

Does anyone have a contact / address / information for places that do re-chroming of bumpers? I have to get my 68 Lemans front bumper out for re-chroming!

I think I've heard of a place in Syracuse, NY and maybe a place in Amsterdam, NY????

Any help with this is apprciated - THANKS!

Checkout Northstar in Mn. Did my Lemans front & rear turned out great and that was 4 years ago.

Chris- places I had used around here are all gone now. Based on recommendations of PY members, I chose Tri-City in Tennessee to recently do a window division bar for my GMC. Service was fairly prompt (5 weeks?) and they did nice work- no hint of a dent that they worked out, and plating looks good.
And, in contrast to the "good old days", the part didn't get lost!

Northstar Bumper in Brainerd, Minnesota is owned by Keystone Automotive these days. You may be able to drop the bumper off at a local Keystone shop (Keystone is a huge auto body supply company, with locations all over the country) to get them shipped to Brainerd, although I'm not sure about that...I've done it a couple times at the Keystone shop in Minneapolis, but that may be just because they're relatively local to the Brainerd shop.
