    Question Question about any good gold-plating shops in Calgary?

    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.
    (the rear sub-frame)


    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.
