If not, worst case you just paint or powder coat it. You’re 100% positive it’s stainless and not chrome plated right. If it’s chrome it will need to be removed(blasted off) then the surface will need to be prepped(sanded and buffed very smooth) to get that polished chrome like finish. ---

Just let me know when you can get one to me and I’ll set the rig up then and get the chemicals moving. I have to clean the oxide of the anode anyway, it’s been siting in the box for awhile. ---

It matches exactly when you plate all the parts simultaneously and when the base material is the same. Largest piece I’ve ever plated was an old V8 crankshaft for a guy who wanted some display piece. I’ve never plated multiple large components in a single shot mainly due to the limited size of the tank. To accomplish what you’re looking for you really need a large vertical suspension tank. Those are usually along the lines of 5-10,000 gallons of solution chemical and some serious power supply. I have nothing anywhere near that kind of setup. Actually started doing it to replate old Porsche emblems on vintage cars. Haven’t used the setup in 4-5 years. Can do anodizing(not hard anodizing) as well, just different chemicals and approach. ---
