Found a copper man

Brought them back to raw finish today, and replated them, used a satin clear.... I love the look!

Those are gorgeous man... Really shows like a piece of art. Elevates them to a whole other level. Excellent job sir!

Thanks man.... still figuring things out a bit, but refining the process every time. Just figured out how to easily polish the plating. this is a satin clear... might see what a gloss looks like next time

Yes sir packaged up

I really like the satin finish, can't wait to see the gloss. Very talented man!

Just a heads up to everyone that is interested. I haven't decided on a price. It's easy to work on my own stuff, and like the results, but to provide a service for another person, I first need to make sure that the finished product is acceptable. I am doing a set for GS300 since he was the first to approach me with the idea of doing it. Lets all see how it turns out, what his opinion is, and then a price will be set. That is about the best I can do at this moment.

Great idea and so far great results!!! Some day I want to have a penny done... (Shocker!) lol

Question, does the copper plating change the mobility/flexibility of the orbitals while trying to install lenses? I mean, if you try to put in new lenses the plating wouldn't crack if the orbital was manipulated right?

 

[Ry.1982]

Good question. When i do a full frame I will test it out. I don't think it will crack or peel, but i can't make assurances until i try it out.

I swapped the lenses in mine from the golds they came with to tungsten with no issues with the plating.

I wouldn't make a habit of it, but that once at least was fine.
