Would more than likely you will need a second mortage to pay for it.
Cheers

Paddy
I am currently getting a few bits done through Custom Chrome at Nerang on the Gold Coast.
Allan is on 07 5596 5553 Mobile: 0419 020 113.
See what he can offer. I am gettinga few small bits redone (horn ring, steering column clamp, panic strap mounts and grille surround) and he quoted $300 for the lot.
Cheers

Chroming has gotten really dear due to EPA rules - quality is everything in chrome and a cheap job on a car you want to keep for a long time will be disappointing in the long run. I would expect you would be looking at around $2000.

Hi Paddy. I have had the majority of the chrome done on the northern end of the Gold Coast by Gold Coast Electroplating at 13/671 Pine Ridge Road, Biggera Waters. The person to contact at that firm is Kevin Harnell. He had been around the trade for a long time. The quality of his work is excellent and I found the price quite reasonable.

Paddy,
That is a fair price, can you check the quality of their work?
