Like my father always told me "plating is nothing more than a reflection of what it's applied to" In short, if the surface being plated is not smooth and scratch free the plating is just going to enhance the flaws and that includes ours plating process. So we need to make the surface of the cobra perfectly smooth and since this cobra already had an older paint job on it , it's just a matter sanding it down, removing any pervious paint imperfections and applying a special polyester primer that not only removes any trace of the old paint stripes but also give the surface the perfect porosity we need for our plating process.
I've already taken the doors and trunk to our Wallingford plating facility to get aluminum plated but unfortunately I'm not allowed to post photos of the plating equipment.
