GShyneDM Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hey, just to let everyone know, I am going to look into getting my bolts stripped and nickel or chrome plated. If anyone else would be interested you could have Joseph ship your bolts to me and you pay me for the plating + shipping back to you.I have no clue what it could cost, but it would be relatively cheap and to do 200 pieces would only benefit everyone vs me doing my 20. I will charge you whatever it costs me. Will probably be in the neighborhood of $0.40-$0.75 each. Please do NOT post or PM me and ask what it would cost. I have no clue at this point and if you ask I will just cut and paste this paragraph.Keep in mind that plating is only as good as the metal's finish itself. So if you want mirror finish polished triple chrome bling look, and the bolts end up coming from H&R with a standard ugly jerk rough industrial finish, the plating will just be a shiny standard ugly jerk rough industrial finish. The only way around that is to sand and mirror polish each bolt head face before being plated. That is no problem, but it will be extra time and $ for the labor.Nickel plated will have the most corrosion resistance. I can also do black hard chrome though, which is sweet. It's NOT the "black chrome" like you see on some optional badges on cars or cabinet hardware. That is decorative only and is not really chrome. It's zinc plating with black dye in it and is plated on a polished part to give it a smoke mirror chrome plated look. It provides no corrosion protection at all. Black hard chrome is NOT that. Black hard chrome is designed as a corrosion plating and looks like semi gloss black paint and is hard as a rock - you will not see any shiny metal underneath. It is NOT cheapass black oxide either. If you want a stealth look, black chrome is killer.Also, there is a $100 minimum with my plater, so if 4 people want nickel and 1 person wants black hard chrome , the person that wants black hard chrome is SOL unless he either wants to foot the $100 minimum or settle for nickel like everyone else.my vote.. BLACK CHROME :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshV70 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 my vote.. BLACK CHROME Didn't feel like reading four pages. I'll just get them done around my area so I can get the set that is already on my car done as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slater Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Meh doesn't really matter. What do you mean beautify though? I could always go get them powdered.powdercoat will chip off after one or 2 times of use. Plating will last much much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but that's bs how we're supposed to 'buy' them something cuz they're mad. Granted I've only been with my gf for 2 months, but when she gets pissed I just let her cool off and the next day she's fine. Spend the money on the spacers, and take her for a nice drve and a picnic, that way you can solve both problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
