    Best chrome anywhere

     



    There is only one chrome shop I use and that is Advanced Custom Chrome in Erie PA. and I live in Idaho. They did Goldbergs (the wrestler) car last year for SEMA, and are totally awsome. These guys have no compitition as far as I'm concerned. They have a web page you can visit too http://www.advancedcustomchrome.com they have a tool shop and can fix about anything. I have a 55 Pontiac and whenever I take it anywhere the chrome is the first thing I get comments on. there was actually a guy that wanked a half a block because he seen the chrome shining in the sun and had to ask where I got it done. If that's not a testamonial what is.
    Good luck, good chrome is hard to find. The problem now days is so many chrome shops are cutting thier prices (and thier quality) to get customers.
    One of my friendsa just got his chrome done in Washington and when his car and mine were next to each other, he commented that he now felt like he had to get his chrome redone.

    I've used Industrial Plating since the early 1980s. No chrome shop is a quick turn, but these guys have always done good work for me.
