I live in NYC. Due to a "discussion " with another vehicle I will need my bumper worked on and rechromed.
Is there anyone left in the Tri State area who's any good who still does it?

Thanks in advance.

Call Keystone Automotive in Milford, CT (203) 882-3320

They have straightened and rechromed a number of bumpers for me. Excellent work. Very good prices.

You'll have to remove the bumper and bring it to them. Two or three month turnaround.

I just called Keystone. The woman on the phone says they don't do it anymore, and don't know anyone that does.

When you say, 'they don't do it any more', do you mean straightening or chroming in general ?

It didn't seem to be anything like that, was my impression. I asked if they did bumpers, straightening & chroming, and she said they used to but didn't anymore
I don't need anything else worked on so I didn't pursue it. She didn't seem inclined to chat.

Hey Jeff

You and me both, but it's what you get for letting tourists drive in the city.
Fortunately it was only a Ford Plastic
