[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 142130, member: 3426"] I suppose you could take some comfort in the fact that you’re not alone. There is a plater in Victoria that still does cad plating at least as of a few months ago. Personally I haven’t tried him because I’m a little paranoid about things getting lost. I just ( a few days ago) started using a CopyCad system. Mixed results so far, but I’m still trying to figure out which way is up. Happy with some results and some really suck. Have been trying to do it without bead blasting first which is part of the problem. In the process of organizing a blasting cabinet, so hopefully things will improve. Plus I want to try blasting some stainless, which may be the best way to go? I’ve played with chemically etching the stainless and have had encouraging results so far, but need to fart around with it some more. The brake arm was done with CopyCad. The shift arm is as it came (cad plate) from the factory. The part of the brake arm that has a bit more shine is where I was buffing it a bit just to see how it would look. The rest is a mixture of original and stuff I plated. You can probably figure it out. [ATTACH type="full"]43674[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
