gold plating

[8thring]

i am thinking of having my walther ppk gold plated by gun depot [i love bling guns]. this gun is a off and on casual carry weapon and might see 100 rds a year.
this company does 12k and 24 k plating; does anyone know how well it holds up?
go to the refinishing gallery to see examlpes of thier work; i love the puple p.m.s. beretta.

Would you happen to be a "love broker"?

Got the diamonds in your teeth so you'll have a "grille" to go with the pimp gun?

Don't know how well they would hold up overall, but I would say go for the 12 not 24, and I wouldn't expect the finish to last long at all if you actually carried or shot the gun. I think the gold plating is more for show. If you do go for it, you HAVE to post pictures here!

Sure -8thring will hook you up for as much as you can afford.

You want it billed by the inch, act or hour?

golds out

just found out it is just for show; it will flake off the barrel and hammer even with minimal shooting, plus it is $600-$800. there is a titanium nitride gold plate that mike larroca does which is also $600. it will wear but does not look like the real thing: scrap that idea. i am havng mike satin hardchrome my browning hi power and installing low ride novak sights. with thin black cherry or white bonded bone grips: thats is plenty of bling with bang.
