Is nickel plating the same as chrome?



Pretty neat Beaky. That looks great and takes things perfectly just a little-too-far. Good on you for pushing the envelope.

Thanks Vinito
but as far as the too far goes, I was stuck with a pin that had every part corroded, so i had 2 choices, paint all the parts and within a few months of playing have the paint wear off were the ball runs across the parts of plate it.
at first i was going to take all my parts to a factory, pay a huge amount of cash and have them done with the chance that a may not get all the parts back due to some getting lost.
or do the job myself.
at first i was going to zinc plate them then i came across the cheaper process of electoless nickle plating.

But yes it is a little too far.

If all the parts didn't need doing then i would have done what i usually do, just clean them and then tumble them.
