i cant find anyone who will chrome a gas tank for my 82 caddy..is there a chrome cover like they have for the impalas?

 

[dsgb]

i was told that u can cut one in half,plate it and cover the stock one with it.

 

[BigLinc]

is the tank new?

 

[dsgb]

How much do they charge for chroming a rear end housing up there?

 

[OrangeCounty58]

has to be new, or all the garbage in the gas tank will ruin their chrome tanks. just paint it if you have to do the half cover. try to find a new one. how mine was done

 

[dsgb]

Whats wrong with makin a cover??Thats the only way anybody out here will plate a gas tank.It looks the same

no it don't, trust us. find someone who will plate it, even if you have to spend a little more.

 

[dsgb]

how much does it cost?

 

[77monte4pumps]

i was told $1000 to plate a brand new tank for my 77 monte and then they held onto it for 4 months and told me they couldnt do it cause it was zinc plated and they couldnt strip the zinc off...

im like wtf ive sanded the zinc off before on parts ive polished before plating...

 

[OrangeCounty58]

1000 bux wow. sounds like an advanced plating price. i would say around 500 bux
