Title: bottle opener plating? Post by: ducatihummer on March 09, 2009, 11:19:38 am I'm getting ready to send some stuff to be chromed and wasn't sure what to do with the bottle openers. I think I've seen them chrome plated, and just cleaned up and painted.
Please let me know your thoughts. I currently use the one on my 81 and these would be used as well... I'm not sure if this would effect what should be done. Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: MoonDawg on March 09, 2009, 11:51:29 am Chrome plate them, that's what we do.
Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: Pat Pixley on March 10, 2009, 09:34:33 pm Ive done Chrome on a few and I have done Nickel plating
which looks great also , and some people here also paint. It really is up to you which way you go. Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: bmw90w on March 10, 2009, 11:30:18 pm Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a new one?
Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: oldcoke on July 30, 2009, 08:51:10 pm I agree. Seems like it would just be cheaper to buy a new one from Fun-Tronics..My 2 cents.
Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: Pat Pixley on August 02, 2009, 11:28:31 pm Remember they're not chromed, it is just a new cast iron, or they are sand blasted.
Plus the chrome one's clean up better after they have been used :smile:. Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: oldcoke on August 16, 2009, 09:45:24 am So it would be worth getting the bottle opener chromed?
Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: oldcoke on September 09, 2009, 03:43:54 pm I got mine chromed at Nashville Plating for $20.00 and looks great. Glad I did it.
Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: oscar on September 09, 2009, 07:31:59 pm You can get them from Funtronics for $6.75. Zinc plated cast iron.
Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: oldcoke on September 09, 2009, 10:32:36 pm Yes, but for $13.25 more you have chrome. Looks much better and you have the OE bottle opener with the OE lettering. MO
Title: Re: bottle opener plating? Post by: oldcoke on August 23, 2010, 01:41:29 pm Keeping the OE opener in the machine is worth the little extra cost and really look great. All my exterior parts are now chrome plated except fot the coke door which I had polished.
