I dont know of one off hand, but I know they make powder coat in chrome.

Best bet is to open up the Yellow Pages and find some coating places.

Also call any hot rod/restoration shops, they would definitely know where to get something chromed emoji

agree, the best and cheapest ways to redo this would be with powder coating. Nickle-dipped Triple chrome plating might look nice and is quite hard but if its not an exclusive show piece i would go with the cheaper option.
