thats the build pile :lol: trying to decide what to do with it.. powder coat or nickel plate it
I have been calling around trying to find someone to copper plate it .. but no luck there..

Will a chrome shop copper plate something? I think they copper plate before they chrome in some cases.
they nickel then copper .. then chrome ..
but i keep getting these different story's as to why the cant do it..
I asked one guy .. to nickel plate a frame... he says it has to be polished before hand .. I told them I did not care ..
I nickel comes out of the tank and it looks blue-ish almost like gun metal .. was thinking of taking a green scratch
pad to it.. and clear coating it.. would look like pewter... anyway .. I found someone today to soda blast bike frames
for me...
actually... it's copper THEN nickel then chrome... I ran a chrome handline for 5 years...

As for having it copper plated... any chrome shop worth it's salt should do that for you
 
So that's what happened to my X-53 springer...
