Ignition Shielding Restoration/ Replating

Re: Ignition Shielding Restoration/ Replating

MY definition is chrome plating put right on top of the metal, without prior copper and nickel coats.

The copper, nickel, chrome process is referred to as "triple chrome plating".

Chuck, Chrome is a transparent coating. Flash chrome on carbon steel requires a light strike coat of nickel to get the silver color.

Neither plating layers are very good however at .0001 - .0005 inches thick.

Here's an NOS from 1969. Ain't the quality stunning?

Looks just like an original LS-5 valve cover I have! Imperfections and all.
