If you go to Hanlon site, they show it getting copper, nickel, and then chrome plating. Check hanlonplating.com. I'm planning on taking my bumpers down there in Nov.
New laws that control the disposal of hazardous waste have really hurt some of the plating businesses in Va. It`s been years since I`ve been to Hanlon but I do remember some of the upper end stuff that they were working on (Mercedes parts) were getting a copper plating. I couldn`t tell you if they triple plated the bumpers for my Barracuda or not.? They were cheap though, $240.00 each. There may be certain companies that have special licensing to do copper plating in Richmond with an understanding that the waste is handled appropriately. I think there was another company in Richmond that did plating but they`re out of business now. A friend of mine mentioned a place called Richmond Bumper, but I`m not familiar with them.
