hello there,
i am thinking of starting a new venture of nickel plating rc components. i have been plating for nearly a year plating parts for me and my dad's classic motorbikes. we have had great success and the results have been exceptional. ![]() after thinking about it i decided to nickel plate all the driveshafts, axles and shock standoffs on my losi 8ight which i am restoring. these parts are about 3 years old and started life the normal black coating. ![]() i then cleaned then and replaced the pins (replacing the pins would not be included) ![]() half the batch where plated using antique nickel solution the other half plated using bright nickel solution. here is some photos of the antique nickel: ![]() ![]() they have an interesting look with a dull colour. here is the bright solution: ![]() ![]() remember these parts are old and very worn so the rust seen is from years of racing in dirt and wet mud. so a newish part would look much better without the rust. i can only plate steel so no alloys. my main question to people is would anyone be interested? constructive comments are welcome ![]() many thanks lewis *edit* about pricing, anyone interested in some parts plated a picture of the parts would be needed to work out a price. the price will depend on size of parts etc. i understand my initial pricing was steep and price would depend on size of parts, how many parts etc. hope this clears things up
