Depends who does it ,ate. My guy stripped the anodising, beat out all the dents and mirror polished ever hung for around 400 including the headlight surrounds. Chrome would be more expensive so I don't know. To be honest my intention was to go for this black outs but after seeing the finished product I could not bare to paint it.

Marks did you paint yours at all?

Beautiful mate, I love the colour.

With your skill, taste and attention to detail, I think you're this is just the start of a looong list of beautiful cars that you'll have in that garage at some point...
