Hello Fellow Wisconsinites :div20: I am looking to get my A arms chromed and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to take them to? I am not against sending them out to someone out of state but if I can find someone nearby I would love to be able to take them thee and see how it works.

DC Motors in Merrill, take your parts to them and they can blast it and paint it for you in any color you want. Ask for Dan or Don. Call 715-536-9786

Just make sure you get TRUE chrome plating, and not get talked into getting it chrome powder-coated.

As a former powder coater, I saw WAY too often people bringing in their stuff for chrome powder coat thinking it would be SUPER durable, and look the same. The reality is that chrome powder coat is VERY hard to get perfect, and most often not sprayed perfectly, so it looks crappy and warped when they do it. If the powder isn't applied to a perfect and consistent thickness, it won't reflect correctly.

I don't think you are considering this route at all, but I'm just trying to make sure to save a fellow HCSer from making the same mistake too many people before you made!
