Re: What should it cost to have all of the chrome re-chromed?

Chrome platers come in a full range of capabilities and quality of work, from slap-dash to those capable of superb repair where needed, quality preparation, and great plating and of course costs will vary accordingly. I'm not familiar with general costs in your area but if you were to send that work to a plater who does top-notch work for cars competing for national awards I'd think budgeting $4000 would be a good shot-in-the-dark, low-end estimate. The grille will be the most significant component of that cost; not only is it die-cast which may require some repair, it also requires the best of skill handling and in the surface preparation. I wouldn't be surprised that some platers would not accept the job.
