Chad;
Why All this cynicism? By the same logic you are implying that you can't
paint or do the bodywork on your own car either. Besides how do you know it
won't work, have you tried it? You're condeming a guy that you know nothing
about, have not seen his plating equiptment, or any of the work he has done
with that equiptment. I have seen plating jobs by professionals that people
did not get what they paid for, and they paid through the nose. At least if
they do the plating themselves, and it doesn't work, they can always try it
again.
I am not interested in a flame war here but some people had a legitimate
inquiry about what method and equiptment this fellow used and I am trying to
answer them. If you don't think it will work, and don't want to try, you
can always take stuff to the chrome shop like you always have, no-one is
forcing you to do otherwise. For those wanting to try it I am sure that they
won't experiment on any good or rare trim parts while they are figuring it
out.
