I have used many many Chrome Pen Kits from Berea & Arizona Silhouette and have been very pleased with the kits and the
durability of finish of parts.
I was contemplating purchasing some Pen Kits form Wood N Whimsies
but they only offer Rhodium kits (that would be comparable to chrome) on this site. I called them and the person I spoke with
stated that Rhodium is comparable to Platinum but no one
really uses Platinum as it would be too cost prohibitive and they don't bother with Chrome plating. Arizona Silhouette & Berea explains platings on the website & catalog that their kits are real platinum instead of Rhodium for durability. Berea & Arizona Silhouette have both chrome and platinum kits but no Rhodium which makes me wonder?
Rhodium , Chrome , or Platinum is there really an actual difference
in durability of finish ? There is a considerable difference (over 1/3) in pricing which makes me think that Chrome is superior to Rhodium and Platinum is superior to Chrome and Rhodium.
Any thoughts or input? I am not trying to start a war between
sellers...Im just trying to ascertain which finish is actually the
best based on your experiences and/or what you know about these
finishes.
Thanks for your help
