SLE V6 Emblems

Gold Plating Kit

Postby jimmm » Thu May 07, 2009 9:11 am

I bet it works very well for the prices they are charging, but for just a small gold kit, $50.00 isn't so bad. You know there is a reason it's called ELECTROPLATING, so I would never want painted or dipped gold.

The salesman at the Lexus dealership from which I bought my Gen 2 told me that the man who electroplated some of their models got $500.00 per car. Jimmm

I could buy the kit for $50 then turn around and charge a few more $$ and make some good profit. Hmmm. Another one of my detailing services I could offer.

I'm still leaning on debadging and driving a naked car. :P

Hey! Don't forget about ME for finding this site for you. You remember when I suggested first that you search the web for gold plating sites, and then you said you couldn't find anything? So, I went out and found this just for YOU!

My charge: Just a "THANK YOU" is enough. :D Jimmm
