    I am not much into advertisements but sometimes you just got to do what you got to do. I did some work for a club member on some particularlly "rough" pot metal the past few weeks. I have attached them to this post and must say that they came out looking quite nice. Some of the parts were to a point where most platers would not do the work. We spent some time on these and was still able to get them out at a decent price. Just in a note of being honest--the center part with the long hole in the detail (about one inch) we did not end up using because of how bad it was. However, we could have repaired the hole but it would have taken about three hours work at our going rate of $55.00 per hour. The part we did use had four holes about .200 long each. This plating process uses three coats of blue-black or hard chrome. I am trying to work on that part of the business that takes parts that are difficult to save and make show quality out of them.

    Hi all, the work that Brownie is talking about herre was done was for me. Just received them today and they look beautiful. I would highly recomend having Brownie take a look at your parts. Will use him again.
