Default Local Chroming/Powder Coating????

Well Ive got the whole car stripped out now, and im thinking of getting my K-member powdercoated before I replace all my steering/suspension components. Do any of you know a local place thatll powdercoat???? Also, this doesnt usually pertain to modern car enthusiasts, but I also wanna get my bumpers chromed as well. Ive heard bad stuff about the place in Dublin ( real slow turn around time) and dont really wanna drive all the way to Tennessee. Are there any somewhat local chroming places???

There is a powdercoat shop in salem and one in vinton both outside of roanoke. I had my wheels done in salem. Pretty good job.

Shickel's Machine Shop in Bridgewater will powdercoat anything from Brakes to Frames.

But it's a 2 hour drive.

Downtown vinton, turn by the post office towards the market and it is back there in a fence. There are two shops in the building the big one does powdercoating the one beside it does sandblasting. I have yet to find anyone that does bead blasting local.
