Chrome Exchange: Has your chrome gotten just a little too rough looking? We have the fix! No matter if it is rusted, scuffed, or just dull, we can hook you up. We are happy to offer our customers a full chrome exchange program and other chrome plating services. We are an official Brown's Plating dealer and have been for years. Brown's is the best in the business when it comes to laying down chrome. As long as your part is not physically damaged, we can swap it out with a freshly chromed one right off of one of our many Walls O' Chrome. If you have made a custom piece we can get that plated, polished, powder coated or anything else that you want done. Call us up for a quote or e-mail us a list of what you want done. Send us your parts and we will send them back all chromed out and looking like new!
