Re: Pot metal

It depends what the pot metal repair is made of.

If you repair with a metal based product, it will be conductive, so you can plate directly over it.

If you repair with bondo or a similar product, it won\'t be conductive, so you\'ll need to paint with conductive paint first so the plate will apply correctly.
