gold plating

<< < (2/3) > >>

graeme:
I used to work at a gold platers, doing the plating. Wish i still did. When we were bored we'd plate whatever we could find. Our keys, lighters, all the tools. We probably had the only 24k plated claw hammer ;D

I was thinking, but im not going to do this now, so ill let on.
In the motorbike world you can chrome plate plastic. They coat it in something that conducts then chrome it.
If its chromed, you could then gold plate on top.
Fancy the worlds only gold plated tuffs?

well i found a place in lea on sea that does plastic chroming, but their e.mail dont work, i should just call i suppose.
Pop into smiths and have a flick though streetfighter magazine, sure to be some companies in there advertising plastic chroming.
Once chromed i dont see any reason why you cant gold plate over the top.
