Who straightens and polishes trim pieces?

Anyone have a company name they could pass along to me for trim polishing and straightening?

Thanks

 Good question!

 If I might add re-plating.

King of Trim in L.A. is one I've heard to be a good source.

There are tools you can buy from TP Tools or Eastwood for straightening out trim.
Small anvils and picks. There's a thread here on how to polish it too.

I sanded and polished my aluminum top door trim and sent it out to Anotech for anodizing.

Not perfect, but they do look pretty good for OEM
70 bucks later, they delivered.

Seems to me someone could strike up a serious business for repairing and polishing trim.

I wouldn't go with MCB.  They did the grill and front valance mouldings for me and I wasn't impressed.  When it came to my stainless, I bought a couple wheels and some polish and did most of them myself.
