Bumper Rechroming
Due to environmental regulations and the lack of people doing chroming, it is expensive everywhere
I priced having both bumpers done on a ‘54 Chevy wagon. I was quoted $950-$1200 apiece, with dent removal extra. A guy working at the shop confided to me they take all the large pieces to Mexico, have it done cheap, then bring it back and jack up the price.
Since I don’t speak Spanish and I don’t have any connection in Mexico, the old Chevy got its bumpers powder coated for $400 total. Makes them 10-20 footers.
