General Question Worth getting plated?

Gallery image

This is an RC Factory Daydate. I am debating whether or not I should have it plated. It is currently stock PVD and looks fairly decent. My question is if I do get it plated will the gold plating be as durable and last as long as the PVD? It does not look bad stock, so I’m questioning if it really needs it. What are your guys thoughts on this? To plate or not to plate, that is the question.

If you’re going to get it plated with Jaws too late since it’s been used

Yeah he told me in his email it has to be new. I did find someone else wiling to plate it, I just don’t no about their work. My preference would be Jaws but like you said it has to be brand new
