What are you seeing for the cost to re-chrome bumpers and bumper guards? Specifically for a 1970 Challenger.
I was quoted an outrageous price from Northstar/ Keystone. Maybe they just want out of the business.
All in would be cabout $4000! :crying: :crying:
Or maybe all plating is getting extremely expensive.
I would prefer replating originals.
Just got mine done two weeks back here in Australia and we pay roughly the same price $700 each to $1200 each just depends on what type of quality you want .
They are around $1200 each here in Ontario, but that was awhile ago....likely more now :alan2cents:
I paid $260 a piece for the front and rear bumpers on my 1969 Camaro here in Tulsa. They look great. The Barracudas were re-chromed by the prior owner and they don't compare to the ones on the Camaro. Those prices posted are :o
I highly recommend Chip @ Tri-City Plating in Elizabethton, Tn. (423)542-6532. He has a great reputation & is very easy do deal with.
He has done 7 or 8 bumpers for me over the last 2 years & all look great! Price wise $700 - $1000 depending on the vehicle & how much work goes into prepping them.
Give him a call.
God Bless

I had someone I know who does trim restoration and gets things plated get a Challenger front bumper (no guards) rechromed for me around 3 years ago and it costed $450.
Recently when I saw him he said it was lucky I had it done when I did, as the price is $850 now.
I think he sends them to Keystone. So the price has about doubled.
Yikes! Better off just buying new bumpers instead unless you're going for a concourse resto.
No doubt :unbelievable:
