I believe the best chrome jobs are triple plated......copper, nickel,
chrome. And of course, the initial preparation is of major importance. Bad
prep = bad chrome, no matter what process is used. The "copper look" you
see on some chrome is where the chrome layer is too thin and is wearing down
to the copper layer. Obviously, the really good stuff is more expensive
because of all the preparation, then the application of the copper, nickel,
and chrome. If I'm wrong on this, somebody please correct me.
