Is it possible to brass plate on top of chrome plating?

[Emeldahay]

Hi guys

I have a set of chrome pinball legs Im wanting to get brass plated - I also have a set of untreated metal pinball legs

The untreated need finishing.

Question is should I get the unfinished ones finished and plate those or can I just plate ontop of the chrome set for a great finish.

??? :thumbsup

Mmm... I'd "think" you could... it's all about electrical conductivity in the end... Chrome plating frequently has a cheaper metal already plated underneath- it probably already has brass or copper under it already. Could you maybe sand one to find out?

If you take it in to a shop,I don't think it will matter.They will strip the chrome off anyway and then re-plate it with the brass.You might just be better off getting the unplated ones done,either or...the results should be the same unless they tell you it can't be done?
