MORE JOBS LOST IN CALIFORNIA?
An estimated 100,000 combined industry jobs are at risk.  The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is planning to phase out decorative hex chrome by 2023. California metal finishers will no longer be able to provide this service.  A ban is extreme and overkill.

Fact: Decorative and functional (hard) chrome and chromic acid anodized metal finishing is less than 1% of total chrome VI emissions for the entire state of California.

A BAN WILL BE STATE-WIDE
If you are a classic automotive enthusiast who restores cars as a hobby or profession, you will have to find a decorative chrome shop outside of the state. All products that utilize hex chrome will be affected including machine parts, fasteners, industrial machinery, aircraft, aerospace, architectural, medical devices, fixtures, marine equipment, electric cars, and bicycles.

CONTACT CARB TODAY
Contact CARB and let them know how you feel about the proposed ban. Save your business, save your hobby, save jobs, and prevent families from leaving the state. CARB is open for comments and concerns.  Tell your story and how this impacts you.
