I'm to the point on two cars that I need to start looking for a good shop to repair and re-chrome a lot of stuff. I know that the more you send, the better per-piece price you get.

What I don't know is where to start. I live in the desert to the West of Las Vegas, in California. We're about 150 miles to L.A. so that would be OK to drive down and make a delivery and pick-up. I haven't found a shop anywhere around Bakersfield that's any good. The best I found there was a place that did chrome paint for $100 per square foot. And they don't do repair to the metal.

I could get silver powder coat very cheaply - one of those businesses co-sponsors my brother-in-law's race car. It's just that powder coating isn't chrome. Yes, I will have some small stuff powder coated, but I will probably do that myself.

What I need is a personal recommendation of a good chrome shop within about 200 miles of Zip 93555, Ridgecrest, CA. All the better if I can work a discount for credit on the cars, both of which are going on the show circuit.

Anyone able to help me out?

This may be the fastest, scariest ride you'll ever get!!
