Close, sort of:
I used to know a guy that ran a plating operation here in Tucson. The problem
was that due to EPA regulations, (I think it was in '95), The Chrome plating
process was deemed hazardous and was required to be performed under
circumstances where vapors would not be released. From this legislation, Auto
manufacturers, then spec'd painted plastic bumpers on most vehicles as the price
went WAY up for chrome. It basically put the guy out of business. Check around
and see about the prices.

Look in the yellow pages. All big cities have plating shops
that can handle your job.

Art,
I'm pretty sure that the factory Aluminum parts are clear coated laquer,
or clear anodize of there is such a thing. It seems like there is some kind of
coating on there now, and the black is just paint? How much did they quote you
to anodize the grill?

Heya folks....Art here...
<snip>
Pulling the grill, headlight and signal rings off of the T'all this
coming week. Don't know why this didn't occur to me years ago -but,
since they're aluminum, it's about time they get re-anodized. Color
choices are tough: orange, blue, blu-green, green, lime, red, black,
gold, purple or...?...
Since the truck is Mediteranian blue w/ a cream top (and interior,
black wrinkle paint on the dash etc.), I'm thinking Gold will do nicely.
That or black.
ANY IDEAS here? -Not going in til Weds/ Thurs.
- -Listening intently for the 'rechroming' feedback too....
