[Stu uk Liverpool]

imaaaaaaaaaaagine it  guys
this would chew me up seriously

its graeme 's idea i pasted his post from tech and resto what ye think



I used to work at a gold platers, doing the plating. Wish i still did. When we were bored we'd plate whatever we could find. Our keys, lighters, all the tools. We probably had the only 24k plated claw hammer

I was thinking, but im not going to do this now, so ill let on.
In the motorbike world you can chrome plate plastic. They coat it in something that conducts then chrome it.
If its chromed, you could then gold plate on top.
Fancy the worlds only gold plated tuffs?

i replied bring it on graeme he's trying to get more info for us

Hey, why not go for the tires and brake blocks as well     

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Why not see if Elizabeth Duke will sponser the idea.

[graeme]

not sure about the cracking thing, depends how much your wheels bend i suppose.
The chrome parts you used to get in airfix kits, you could bend then quite far before it cracked.
I dont think its exactly the same as normal chrome.

I'm not a big fan of your gold stuff but i'd be well impressed if you do this one Stu. After reading that earlier thread on the subject i was kind of hoping you'd try it.
