First and most important plating or refinishing firearms is gunsmithing and requires a FFL license|After that comes the state and local licenses, It took me over a year and a lot of money to get mine. Having said that I charge $200 in matte and $250 in bright for handguns in chrome or nickel and $350 in black chrome and $500 in 24k gold. thnc
