On the chrome ones, I get this show chrome done. It is the best looking chrome you can get. It has a slight, bluish cast. Like they put on tricked out Harleys or show cars. It is very nice.
Chrome is by far the most durable plating.
It is so hard that it doesn't wear off. It is expensive to have this done, but, I don't want it to wear off like other gold plating. Still, gold is, I think, the second softest metal, so it will not be as durable as chrome. Just depends on what you like and how you play. Hope that you like this.
