Title: Pitted Pot Metal - HELP?!
Post by: stephen_becker on March 22, 2021, 02:54:22 PM
I used to use MR G's Mustang in Texas (I believe) decades ago to restore pot-metal pieces that are pitted - What companies do people now send in pitted or broken pot-metal parts and pieces to be re-done?

Thank you!

Please share if you find a source.

I didn't think anyone did it anymore. A least not in the USA.

I sent a few pieces to Paul's Chrome a couple of years ago.  You could check with them.  Nice job, but $$$$

for Plastic, I have used GCAR in Washington for nearly 20 years https://gcartrim.com/ . Incredible work and very fair prices.

I just got back my 65 vent window frames that I sent to Smittys chrome plating. They specialize in Pot Metal. Incredible customer service, I highly recommend them. They came back beautiful!! It was $140 for each one to get done but well worth it. Now to re assemble them. Ask for Kevin, tell him Jimmy sent you.

I see we have a services offered here but why not have a recommended services section or add it to the services offered? Therefore anyone can search it for services they need done. Gary

That's a great Idea! I am sure they will all be excellent referrals as our standards are pretty high.
