Bright trim above the door opening on a '77 Cutlass Supreme. I have a replacement part but it has been scratched and tarnished. I found out today it isn't chrome plated, it is bright anodized. Apparently nobody in Missouri does it. I was told Hemmings might have someone advertising in their periodical. Anyone know? Thanks.

edit: I have searched the internet and found some companies but was looking for a recommendation by someone that has actually used a company's services or could otherwise recommend someone to deal with.

Call around to industrial platers or general machine shops in you area. I bet someone can point you in the right direction. Anodizing is used in all kinds of industry. I bet someone in the area does it they just normally don't do car parts.

I looked in one of my old Hemmings and there was only one ad that mentioned anodizing specifically, more probably do it. It is a Mopar place but they also do anodizing and stainless trim restoration. There was also a plating place in Missouri but you probably already know about them, if not I put the link in.

That is really ironic. The place in Missouri is outfit that told me about anodizing. I called them yesterday and they don't do it, just plating. Pretty ironic...


I will check out some of these other sources, including the mopar place. Thanks.
