Steel Chassis Restoration

[Brian Wood]

I had my DX-100 copper-plated steel chassis replated at a shop in Denver on
"Antique Row". You might try looking in your yellow pages in the antiques
section for plating companies. They shot the chassis with glass beads and
then did an acid/copper wash. I then buffed it with Nevr-Dull and coated it
with a water based lacquer.

Hi All:

The steel chassis on several of my unbuilt kits have various degrees of
rust.
 Can anyone recommend a firm that can refinish these economically? (rust
removal and replating).

thanks.

Ivan
