| When I suggested replating I assumed that the original finish on the front axle would need to be stripped. The plating company would not plate over the existing finish, but would need to take a measurement of the original size to calculate the dip time for the new finish.
The longer you leave a component in the tank the deeper the finish.
The company I work for sends all its brass components away for dull chrome plating and all steel parts for cad plating, and in some cases this involves stripping off the original coating, so I know it can be done. |
