Default pot metal

Okay, another question. The part I need help with is nickel plated pot metal. I would like to "freshen up" the plating but some of the nickel is gone in places. What do I need to do here ? What do I need to buy? I was thinking plug N plate but now I don't know.

Thanks,
Laird

Is the pot metal showing through anywhere? The best thing to do would be to re-plate the entire part with Flash Copper, then nickel plate.
