My GC tail panel and door top trim needs re-anodizing. What is best place for this?

www.anobrite.com is one.

Thanks NZ440R/T! This is so fun...I'm living in Europe, asking for help from USA and getting answer from NZ.

I saw your car in Ano-Brite picture gallery. Can you tell me about delivery times and prices?

I already sended e-mail with attached picture and waiting for their reply.

ROFLMAO!!!  True, never thought about it like that. 

Yip, the ENTIRE grille was shipped to me within 4-5 days in a long wooden crate box.
The grille was rapped with big sized bubble wrap and then surrounded by news paper.
Well packed, being a grille it was fragile and still made it here without a scratch...FAST.

He should get back to you within a day. 
Price for the grille I will not say, don't talk money.  OK, I'll tell ya, $1,600 USD including shipping.
That's for an entire grille (including light bezels), restored to show condition + EXPRESS shipping.
I bargain IMO. If it wasn't for him the restoration would have gone on for another few months....+ more $$$


Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Carl

Hey, NZ, it looks like you sent all your smaller chrome pieces to anobrite. They look awesome! Did you have any dents , etc, that needed to be repaired?  If so, how'd they turn out? Reason I ask is that some of the belt moldings on my convertible have little dents and dings in them, and I'm looking for input as to a good quality shop to send them to for straightening out and re-chroming. Thanks!

Hey Droptop,

Those are ArcticCuda pieces in that photo, not mine. 
I had a grille made and sent over to me....see my above post for how it went.

Give them an email to see what they will cost.
They are the most professional outfit I used during my 2-1/2 restoration, period.

Cheers,
Carl

Here try this....... marcosc@anobrite.com That's who I dealt with, Marcos, he was awesome.
Tell him the guy with the White Challenger (Carl) from New Zealand referred you and he'll look after you. 

Let me know how it goes.

Ok, got an answer. 700 usd. With shipping Europe-USA-Europe + customs + vat that makes about 1100-1200 usd. AUTZ.

Sheesh, that is expensive. Though they are professionally one of the best outfits around.
Is that for the tail panel etc and grille or only the tail panel?

3 pieces for tail panel and 4 pieces for top of the door. price is high but aluminum trims are impossible to restore at home.

We'll see how it goes  . Body is in the paint shop, engine needs re-building, just looking for new rims & tyres, my daily driver Impala SS 1996 needs new exhaust etc etc.

Sweet as mate....if you do go with them you'll be in good hands.
