    Getting ready to send out my pot metal dash-67 GS. Has some pitting and want to have it done while interior gutted. Had Paul's Chrome do quit a bit on my 36 Buick-satisfied but high. Don't know that Nu Chrome any less expensive but thought I might try them. Anyone have experience-good or bad? They are located in Fall River, MA. Thanks

    Thanks for heads up. Searched the forum and understand the warning. I will find someone else to do work. What about Finishing Touch or Quality Pot Metal aka Chrome Plus?

    I have used the Finishing Touch many times.

    Great quality - but expensive with long lead times.

    I know nothing about these guys in Hemmings MM but if you are on the east coast they may be of service: Frankford in Philly. 1 888 288 4525. They say they do pot metal.

    I used Nu-Chrome on my Wildcat chrome. VERY, VERY Dis-satisfied with the quality of the work. Used Paul's for the Wildcat I am doing now and yes pricey, but the quality was excellent.

    Sent dash and rear tail light bezels to Paul's Chrome today. Some of the smaller stuff gave to local replater and will have him do. Plan on sending bumpers to Superior Chrome in Houston. Paul's a little bit higher on dash but I trust their work and that needs to be done right. Thanks for all the responses and input.
