Sold/Expired Looking for electroplating

[jaybiz32]

Looking for someone to Plate my suregire E2d which s already HA black. I would Like a complete nickel finish to it and was wondering if it was possible or if anyone knew someone who was doing it.
I could consider other finishes as well but I think the nickel gives an impressive look.

Have you tried going to a local metal plating shop? It shouldn't cost too much for them to make up a jig for a simple shape like a tube.

I might suggest electroless nickel plating which does not require a jig and may cost less - and produces a nice finish. I think you want high phosphorus electroless nickel (the type used in some firearms).

Great idea,

But the Head and reflector in the E2x series are one pice.
It would be hard if not impossible to mask/save the reflective surface of the Reflector.
