Default Re: Chrome stripping

I am reasonably confident of having a go at the plating but I am pressed for time as the jukebox needed for a shop window prop in the next couple of weeks.
I have been told the the plating would be a 4 stage process due to the base metal. Zincate, copper (filled & polished), heavy nickel, then chrome.
I will have to polish out where 'old meets new' at this point anyway, as you say bazz, the base metal does look like new.
So far, so good. and plating is definately a consideration for the future.

Nick.
