Nice, Rare & Common Maxx Chassis List...

Yea, the place charges by the lot, and they charge substantially less if all the parts I have fit into a basket with parts in it already getting plated! They want me to bring the truck down so they can see what all will be getting plated, and what all sizes they are, and then they will give me a price. They say they are the least expensive in the South-East (I'm in Alabama), as well as having the best quality, and will beat or match any other price I find!

They actually etch the aluminum before plating, so that the chrome sticks to it extremely well, even if the aluminum is bent slightly after plating...so if I do decide to run the truck some, albeit very lightly, the plating won't crack, chip, bubble or come off if I accidentally hit something, heh!

The copper plating is basically the same, except they add a clear-type coating so that the copper stays looking brand-new for pretty much ever, and never needs polishing!

Man, I asked these guys every question I could think of, and they fully understand what kind of parts I have and what I want plated/coated, and I really liked their answers as well as their attitudes & personalities!

What do you guys think about having all or some of the aluminum parts Gold-Chrome Plated (looks like real 24k gold)? They said it's exactly the same as regular Chrome-Plating! I may wait until I get another Full-Blown Supermaxx built and have it Gold-Plated...it will look SICK sitting beside the Chrome-Plated SM!!!


Here are some parts on eBay, from jkrumbholz that have some kind of gold electro-plating:
