    Need someone that can chrome plate wheels

    Anyone around the Burgh' that does chrome plating? Looking to get a set of wheels re-chromed.

    Chrome is so pricey. How about chrome-like Powdercoating? AMF ( Imperial area ) does nice work at a fair price from what I've heard. Are they still a sponsor?

    I've always heard the chrome pc is nothing like the real thing. Unless it's come a long ways.....?

    PC is not as shiny as chrome but better than the old days. Plus WAY cheaper. If you want chrome it'll run you as much as new wheels. You can PC a set of 4 for around $400.

    Paul's is big big money if it is the same place I'm thinking of. Great work but pricey.

    Bills Chrome and M&P Refinishing in Jeannette. Both do great work and have a fairly quick turn around.
