Re: How did you get the gold trim plated-and with what?

You really have to search to find platers these days. In the Atlanta area they are few and far between, most are middlemen who take in plating jobs and then farm them out. In my area (Columbus, Georgia) there are NO platers to be found. EPA has driven them all out. Also the cost is prohibitive as the price of Gold is over 1,500 oz. Since my cars will never judged at a Packard meet, I took the shortcut and used gold spray paint. True it does not shine as much, but I am not out much money. In this day and age I have learned to live without frills.
