Roger;
I would have to disagree with you there. This is not the sort of fellow
that would use a Mickey Mouse outfit of the sort that you see in magazines.
This fellow has been rebuilding and restoring old cars for many years, some
were very rare, and in fact the vehicle that he replated the parts on was a
Stanley Steamer. From what I have heard he has a smaller version of the
setup used in the large plating shops. I believe that in all likelyhood
plating is like painting, its the preparation that makes the difference
between a good and a poor job and I have seen both come out of so-called
"Professional" shops.
Best Regards
