| Hi gang!
I have a bit of a problem with these two colours. I got 136 tiles with grill,
some surely silver some surely gold. And then a bunch in between, sorta like
faded gold 
It's rather difficult to take a decent picture of
How would you list those not quite gold parts?
Cheers,
Ole

I would list them as Chrome Gold with a note that specifically states that the
gold coating is fading. After all, the gold is just a color wash over a Chrome
Silver part that can easily disappear over time if handled too much. Some of
your Chrome Silver parts may have been Chrome Gold to begin with.

Randy

| Hi Randy
I thought the gold was part of the chrome process but since it's just a "wash
over" I guess the fading makes sense. I'll list them as such
Thanx for the help 
Cheers,
Ole

I like the chrome silver better than the chrome gold for something I am building.
But I found that the chrome silver was much more expensive (and rare).
IF the gold is just a coating over silver, could I turn my chrome gold pieces
into silver?
What should I use to do this? I need to keep the shine as I am using these for
mirrors in the middle of a carousel.
