How to prep a coin entry for chrome

[tkaz]

Hi All,

I've got a coin entry bezel that I'd like to get ready to chrome, but it's got some pitting in the metal and needs a good overall cleaning.  What's the best way to get it ready?  It's off a Vendo 90

I'd also like to replace the Change Only piece, but I can't seem to find anything like it anywhere.  Any ideas on that?

Thanks for your help.

in my experience with chroming, jsut send it off as is.. if your using a professional chroming outfit, they will prep it before they chrome it.
Who are you going to use?

Be careful, a lot of the so called professional guys don't really prep the metal. They just run it through the proccess without filling in the pits. Some of the work I got back was pretty awful. Get a name from someone here who has knowledge of a good reputable bussiness.

Good Luck
