Headlight Bezels Chroming

[Boondock]

Alrighty, so recently I ordered the reproduction headlight bezels from LMC that are apparently plastic, as they are on pretty much EVERY other site I've looked on. I guess I really never thought about it until I ordered them that the OEM bezels are most diffidently some sort of metal. :3

Anyways, I'm planning on using the plastic ones with my temporary grille replacement until I decide to upgrade to a billet or something more durable.

TO THE POINT: My headlight bezels chrome is chipping off and I would really like to get them rechromed. Any idea on the price of that? I'd imagine all they'd have to do is glass bead/sandblast it to it's bare metal then dip it in some kind of chrome liquid...

Thanks,
Boondock.

I don't know what's involved in the process, but the rechrome cost is based on two things. How bad the pitting is, and how good the shop is (quality work costs more).

I was in a coating factory once that did some kind of zinc plating or something, the parts (used to make shopping carts) went into some kind of electroplating bath tubs, not sure how that relates to a chroming process but it looked just like it. Pretty cool to watch.
