A bit of a change from burning the skin off my hands with 'cement' to burning the skin off my hands with hydrochloric acid. I've been plating a few bits off my DR250R that were painted black when I did it up originally. I had the kit in 2010 and I havent used it for ages, but apart from having to guess the current as my ammeter has packed up it went well. Keeps me out of mischief.

I like a bit of nickel plate. I did all the shiny bits on a cafe racer commando once, and it gleamed so nicely that I had to sell it :lol:
