Hi Mr.Gun,

These are made of Zinc "Pot Metal" They plate real well.
Thanks for your interest!

Hi, maybe this is a stupid question but where would I take them to be plated and how much do you think it would run? I was going to send a PM but figured some other members might be wondering as well, thanks!

I plan to nickel plate my own. You could check your yellow pages, or wait until I get all of the stuff. ;)

I was able to get my Vibramute, arm, and some small pieces plated for @ $50 when I did my PartsRite ... Removes all the hassle, and the price wasn't bad.

Where did you have them plated Dennis? Was it local or did you ship them off?
