Orange county plating, but you better check, it may be easier to buy new ones already chromed!!:eek:

From the guys we use, I'm guessing about $300-350.
hey, that i can manage...where are they? out in temecula by you?

Again, I'm just guessing, but I can get a quote for you. The guy himself is in San Marcos, I believe. He picks up and delivers because we do quite a bit with him. Everything goes to Mexico and comes back a week or so later. I'll ask him next time I see him, he's usually in a couple times a week. How big are the fenders? Double axle?
yes...twin axle, and i think 10" wide, they are the ones that cover the whole tires...im VERY interested, so if you could get a quote for me, and its within my budget, im in buddy...thanx bob!...you said he gets them done in mexico?

Yes. It seems most chrome is done in Mexico now, even if the place you take it is local. They drive it down there, have it plated and bring it back. I guess it's pretty hard to chrome plate in CA anymore, with all the laws and whatnot.
niiice! thanx alot i appreciate it...if so, would i be dropping them off at his shop? or could he pick them up @ my house? ill pay for it if thats the case...also, does he strip them? i have one of them almost stripped all the way, and the other one still has the purple paint on it...

I wouldn't even worry about stripping them, they do all the prep. If we send them down and get you our price, you'll probably have to drop them off at our shop in Murrieta.
nice, i dont have a problem w/ that...not too far at all from LB...thanx.
