Painting Emblems & Grill Black Chrome

Hi Everyone,

I'm planning on painting my emblems (whole set) and my grill black chrome very soon...and since Klumzyee is not longer available to do that...I was wondering if anyone could recommend a shop?

I went onto Wheel Techniques' website, and it said that they do chrome painting. I gave them a call, and they confirmed that they do black chrome painting. But I've read mixed reviews on the forums about them.

Any1 have other shops?

try talking to Jeff over at http://www.wheeltechniques.com/ in santa clara. They painted my grill matte black and also did my wheels color matched and matte black as well. They took care of me and should be able to do the same for you.
