Do a local search for "chroming" through your local phone companies internet page (if they have one), you can find it this way.

If not there is a company some where in Florida, (Tallahasee ?) that other's have got their stuff chromed at. I myself am not into shipping my car parts, so I found a local company that I am in contact with to see what they can do for me.

Do you have to dissassemble the car or do you take it to them and they do that?

I'm looking at the grill and the door handles, I didn't even ask them the question, because I don't want them to take it apart.

So basically the answer is, "I don't know because my intentions from the get go are to do it my self."

What parts are you talking about chroming. The plastic parts such as the grill or the suspension parts such as the upper and lower control arms. We at Carlini Design can help you out either way. Give me a idea of what you want done and I will help you out any way I can. You can call me anytime at (949) 380-8587.

Custom Coating in Tallahassee did my grill & door handles. (triple chrome plating on plastic)

The grill has 5 screws to remove less than 5 min. with #2 phillips.

Door handles are alittle more difficult. I ordered new set, disassembled the lifts and sent them to be done with my grill.

In the reassembly I had to grind the chrome on the arms to clear the opening (I would request not chroming the arms if I had another set chromed) and use 5/32" X 3/4" and 5/32" X 1 3/4" roll pins to replace stock rivets. I drilled the opening in the lift handles (NOT THE BASE OF THE HANDLES) to 11/64ths for free movement of lift.

Anyone with basic abilities should be able to do this.

DREMEL TOOL to grind the head off the rivets, a drill motor and bits, #2 phillips screwdriver, trim stick and putty knife. Small hands help to reach the rods on the door handles.

If anyone is interested in how to remove the handles call or e mail me (317) 894-0827
