Can somebody please point me in the direction where to get this done, would like to get a few ramps done if it's not crazy money.
Many Thanks
Many Thanks
Are you set on actual gold plating? I have had a number of parts plated in a gold coloured metal and it has been very reasonably priced. @bartron may be able to give you an account of how they came out as his IJ, TOTAN and Shadow have all had this done.
Thanks for the info, can I ask where you sent them to be done ? I have so many new parts to go in the Elvis which I have been collecting, so just need to tidy the ramps up.
I would be happy if they just come out like the original.
Many Thanks
I don’t think you will be able to metal plate them now you have powder coated them the problem is you have to blast the old powder coat off this leaves it pitted to hell so you would have to polish them up to get them plated
If you gold plated all the armour it would be close to 1k a coin door 24 carat gold plated cost me about £350 inc vat
I haven’t ever found a nice gold powder coating as yet
Douglas Plating in London..
Inclux - had IJ Ramps, gun, apron, and few metal guides done.. they did a really nice job. A forum member the IJ now..
Thanks for the links, I will have a good look when I get home, I can't see all the parts available for Stern, I expect the quality of these is very nice.yeah that's way off. Even Stevie Wonder could see it!
You can acid bath them but I think they will still need alot of work.

pricey but you know what you are getting and you can sell the other parts to make up some of the costs.
