Asked about kits, got good response, so what about plating?

My choice of plating depends on the blank. I do try to stay away from the 24kt gold plating if at all possible.

 

[Gundoc]

Copper or gun metal is my personal choice

 

[dogcatcher]

Gun metal and chrome, every thing else comes after those 2.

 

[wood-of-1kind]

Chrome as it is durable, cost effective and looks good.

 

[TonyL]

gun metal and antique silver

 

[JimB]

Black Ti, chrome, gun metal. I don't like gold. What I actually use depends on the kit and the blank.

I really follow the wood for the most part. If I chose based on my own preferences it would the the antiqued brass, copper and silver/pewter colors. A lot of people prefer I make shiny things, though.

Gun Metal and Chrome are the most requested finishes I get from men. For women, it's Gold or Satin. I don't much care for the Satin but the ladies sure like it.

Black Ti and Chrome.
