There was a segment on Trucks this weekend where they went through the entire re-chroming process at Advanced Plating in Nashville TN. Trucks was re-chroming the grill on a 50 something truck with some extensive rot. It really is amazing the amount of time and labor needed to correctly re-chrome something to a perfect condition. They had to copper plaet the thing like 4 times - plus all the sanding and buffing between coats. Let alone factor in the Biz costs of all the chemicals, hamat certification, hazwaste disposal costs, etc. You're price in HNL could also be higher due to shipping costs of the materials in from the mainland. If it were a level playing field - sounds like a reasonable cost. JMO
