Because I went to a show a few weeks ago, and I saw a bike there and the gold plating was actaully chipping/pealing off. I should of took pics but I didnt.. So how do you take good care of the gold plating so it dont fades ?Originally posted by tRiCk oR tReAt 2@Sep 10 2005, 08:49 AM~3787561
if gold chips off means not good prepping beforethe nickle plating... i've never seen gold chip.. i see'n gold fade... but not chip.... and gold fades when u dont take care of it... wether if its gold dip or gold plated... still fades.... we do some bad ass gold plating and we got the tanks for the gold dipping its just not setup yet...gunna set up the gold dip by next year that shits gunna take alot of money to get that up n running...

Also does chrome plating fade ?
ooo ok, What if I got it dipped more then once ? Would it help it from fading ?Originally posted by tRiCk oR tReAt 2@Sep 10 2005, 08:55 AM~3787581
no chrome plating doesnt fade...gold plating fades by rubbing on it too much... if u use any type of chromepolish on the gold it will wipe it right off... the way gold chips n peals off would be if they didnt polish it good enough when they copper plated and nickle plated unless its cheap and they just went str8 nickle and gold... and no copper which is prolly wut they did and could be the reason why it chipppped...
