Re: Making chrome pot metal look good

I am afraid there is very little good news on re-chroming pot metal. In some cases, parts are to far gone to do. In other cases, the cost outweighs the benefit. Sometimes the platers will throw so much copper to fill pits that the part is literally distorted and does not match parts it mates with. In other cases, the part gets over buffed it looses all detail having no crisp lines or sharp transition.

This is best left to the very best platers, who charge big $$ to do the job right.

Best of luck,
Jim
