grill shell chroming

Has anyone ever had their grill shell re-chromed? Was it expensive? In a previous post, I stated I can buy a new one for 500 bucks, but I have access to some shells that I can get cheap, but of course they have their imperfections and would need to be refinished. Does anyone know of any re-chromers? I live in Minnesota.

Those grills are polished aluminum. You can refinish them. I believe there are threads on the subject in the bodywork forum.

In other words, They aren't chromed.
