Title: Chroming in Qld. Post by: paddyfc58 on August 09, 2011, 10:51:15 PM Hi,
Looking for a number in qld for the chrome work for my ute. Also does anyone have a ballpark figure how much it might cost, basically getting everything re-chromed, grill, bumpers, overriders, handles tail lights etc etc. Any help appreciated thanks Paddy Title: Re: Chroming in Qld.

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 Craig D Title: Re: Chroming in Qld. Post by: mcl1959 on August 10, 2011, 08:35:24 PM 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.

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.

That is a fair price, can you check the quality of their work? Cheers John Title: Re: Chroming in Qld. Post by: snuff69 on August 31, 2011, 06:24:36 PM That sounds more than reasonable if they do a decent job. dave
