Default Re: Dull or satin finish
Give the base metal a satin/dull look and the plate takes on those characteristics. Bead blasting would work.

Default Re: Dull or satin finish
Ok, I need some advice here....I do some custom gunsmithing and alot of requests to do "stainless finishes" on original blued parts.Question is,what would be the best way(not necessarily the cheapest,but the best)to accomplish this? I have not bought any equipment yet until I get some input.I have been using Guncote,and am not particulary thrilled with the results.SO,should I go with nickel electroplating,electroless nickel,powdercoating,or what?Want to make sure it is the best possible finish.
Thanks-Joe
