    Chrome Restoration

    Curious if anyone has used http://www.restorationchrome.com/ for any chrome restorations. They are located in Mead, Wa near Spokane.

    I noticed the price for fixing and re chrome 64-65 falcon bumpers is 350 each.

    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 don't think you can remove the post from the button.

    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.

    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:

    Yikes, rechroming them is expensive.
    Thanks for the info Roger. Interesting- my front ones have the S shaped posts, like in this link:

    My back ones have the straight post.
