Thought you all might like seeing final after gold plating. It's a "10" not cheap by any means but well worth it for quality.
Take care and thanks to all who offered comments and input
Regards.

Hi Peter, id also like to do my two vees and chrome the goddess. Where did you end up sending the vee for anodizing (?).  How long did it take? Bracing myself on the cost

Thanks

Craig Bierman is the owner. Good gu, price may be hi but quality is a 10!
You can email at sales@sportchrome.com
$400 for 24kt gold plate, took 5 days!
And Geoff space coast does not do good, although I asked and sent photos when I reached out. So they will only do the goddess! Lead time is like 12 wks, not a big deal since winter is coming😉

"And Geoff space coast does not do good"

I think you meant gold, right?

@Oscar --- that Vee is not anodized, it is gold plated.   :)
