Gold Plating Hardware

[rdhnick]

I've got an old set with chrome hardware, and also an older djembe with black hardware; both of which I'd like to have plated gold. No metal shops near me have this capability. (Southern Tier of NY State). Can anyone steer me to a place that I can send my hardware to in order to gold plate it? Thanks in advance for your leads.

You can do a search for plating. A lot of auto shops will do this. Dude, you do realize how much this will cost, right ? We are talking sandblast removal of old plating, and replating. That is really pricey. Like, really. Like, about $100 for a single hoop kind of pricey (at least around here).
