dpeeler Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Well, I thought I had found a great brass plating shop and after the first batch of parts came back, I'm on the hunt again. I sent a couple instrument housings and a pull light switch panel - simple enough I thought?? Was promised 2 weeks and took 2 months...then to come back looking the way they did just won't cut it. Problem - no prep work and them no buffing - just dipped and dried it appears. Hard to tell about color consistency which is so hard for brass plating. Does anyone have a shop they can recommend? Would appreciate any leads! Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 For good results when having parts brass plated the parts should be nickle plated first. I would check with one of the major platers such as Librandi or Paul's. Haven't had it done in years. Last thing I had brass plated were a set of feet for a claw foot tub. They have held up for more than 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
