Check with Art Brass Plating. They also have a flat rate for straightening and chroming bumpers. I think I paid about $350 each for mine.
I have no experience with Restoration Chrome.
Getting all my chrome ready to take down to Art Brass.
Is there a secret to taking the post out of the door handle button? Or is the whole assembly plated together?
Same for the outside door lock...do I take in the entire assembly?

I believe the door lock base and flap are stainless so would just need a polish and not chrome plating. The posts on the flaps are kind of delicate so I would be careful when you hit them with the buffing wheel.
do you mean the button you push with your thum ? yes it comes out, once it's off the car you will see. for one thing there is a o ring in there. the lock is stainless like jeff said....jh
I meant to post this the other day, and it slipped my noggin... you may want to opt for new door handles, etc, rather than the expense of rechroming them. I did a little tutorial on this a couple years ago:Quote:

Yikes, rechroming them is expensive.
