Hey guys, just looking at getting some pieces from my sportbike gold plated. I was hoping mainly the wheels & the rear subframe. Basically these parts.

and of course both wheels

and possibly a few other parts like engine covers (etc).


This is the kind of gold plating Im after.

^Obviously that shiny gold appearance, not so much that (almost) painted non-reflective gold.
Any good companies in town that do this sort of thing?
Thanks a ton for your time and offering any help you can.

For a bike that'll be ridden, I would go with painted over plated.

Either get it anodized and shoot some clear over top, or find a nice gold paint and pay someone to wear out their arms sanding & polishing.
