rechrome or buy new
 

I'm getting ready to paint my 73 stingray (not me the shop) and since my baby was the last corvette with rear bumpers and they're not in great shape, I want to either rechrome or buy new. I've been told the buy new doesn't work out because of quality and of course they're not original (mines a driver but a good one). I've also heard that new ones don't always fit. I've priced new ones through the usual catalogs and the price isn't that bad. I have side pipes the chrome type and they're worst than the bumpers but they go for about twenty-four hundred new. Can you rechrome them?

Hi Marty73, someone else had the same problem, in the end it seems to make since to recrome the bumpers that you have, with the logic being that your bumpers fit now and after recroming they will fit again. A 73 with fresh bumpers and fresh side pipes, that will be so beautiful, you'll love it.PG.

I justed talked to a plating company about an hour an a half from home. He will replate both of my originals for a total of $370.00. That beats more than $250.00 each for the reproduction, el cheapo ones.
