Nick -
For that price, I would've expected mirror-like show chrome. Definitely
bring the stuff back and have him redo it. Most honest rechromers will try
to satisfy the customer. Did you find his name in Hemmings ? If so, write
to HMN and complain about this place. Hemmings is very vigilant about
making sure their readers are satisfied with their advertisers.
I had good luck with Nu-Chrome in Fall River, MA. They did a great job
at filling some pitted potmetal I gave them. Of course, that was a few
years ago. I've heard some mixed reports since then. My advice is to send
them something small, like a bumper guard. If they do a good job, send off
some more stuff.
