Smile Re: Help me decide what's best

I believe I read somewhere that If I go ahead and get the plating manual,when I order a kit I can tell them I already have the manual and I can skip buying it again with the kit and will be compensated the $22.00. I would like to investigate it further and feel this is the best way to do it. I am going to do something because I can't send out the stuff I need plated the charges & freight would eat me up. Another question or two. How durable is this plating ? Way stronger than paint ? If a small piece is dropped say 3 ft. will it devestate the plating or would it be like regular chrome and take a hit without chipping ? It would be stronger if you let the surface build up longer, correct ? If you bolted on a small piece and torqued the bolts to say 20 ft#'s would the plating stay intact ? If you loosened the bolt & removed it, what would happen to the plating ? Do you have to super buff everything ? What kind of buffing tools would be needed ? How detailed is the plating manual ? I am about to order it now. Sorry , This is an unknown that I know NOTHING about. Thanks in advance.........

Aw...Heck, I'm just going to go ahead and buy a kit and learn as I go........
15 minutes later I have decided to go with the original thought and order the plating manual first, WO boy, slow down !!!
