Hi Clay,
Eric @PMB sent my plates for a repaint and they did a perfect job. Call E and he should tell you who did them. Best Bob B  |

[/quote] BTW, I emailed that company here in Socal to ask if they do Dealer Frames as well.

Pulled this info off of an old Early 911S Registry thread: https://www.early911sregistry.org/forums/sh...ration-(chrome) Vernes Chrome Plating 1559 W. El Segundo Boulevard Gardena, California 90249 323-754-4126 Sihilling Metal Polishing 1702 Newport Cir., Unit D Santa Ana, CA 92705 714-543-7051 Talked to Vernes earlier and they do not paint after chroming. Will call Sihilling on Monday before deciding on which direction to go in with my frame. |

There are some great threads on the early 911S registry board....they go down in the weeds on chroming and re-painting the frames - who is good...and who isn't. If you're taking one in and it's special, do your research and/or put a test case through to see if the work is up to your standards.
I have one from Tom Cheney Porsche in Harvey, IL which is where my 914 was originally sold - if I were to re-do the plate, I'd have the frame done as well but the patina on it matches the plate.... |

Toolguy gave me the referral and he did a great job. ~$50 but worth it IMHO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Here is the plate....the Cayman has a different plate now and the 914 is in Michigan unfortrunately as the plates were orginal to the car.
I.ll still vouch for the work.  |
