Any fellow speaker geeks have a connection for copper plating?

    I recently shopped around and it looks like copper flashing at Home Depot was one of the best values.

    I meant like having a piece of metal plated, like chrome is done.

    How big?
  • 6thplanet6thplanet
    It would be this top section, except built out aluminum.

    Bit too big for my plating set up. Sorry.

    I'm curious what ribbon and mid you're using. It looks like a very cool design!

    Heay Roman, what if it was just this piece, it's 12"x12"

    I've been talking to him about anodizing, but he mentioned that they also do plating. I think a bronze anodize is what I want for this project, unfortunately his company doesn't offer that color. I have some powder coat I think I'll try on it.

    We do copper plating.  Unfortunately we also do cadmium and silver plating on that same line and it is super busy right now.  I wouldn't be able to sneak anything through so we would be looking at a long lead time and a pretty hefty minimum charge.

    You could get a very thin copper sheet and just clad aluminum with it.

    Maybe reach out to Javad, perhaps he has a contact for plating being in the auto accessories industry (?)
  • jhollanderjhollander
    You could probably paint and get the color your want. There is not really any wear/ durability concerns.

    Excellent point John.

    I have a powder coating kit

    Eastwood?
  • 6thplanet6thplanet
    Yup, I've had it for prolly 16-17 years. I use to do it as a side job. It easily payed for itself 3 times over. Works great, I highly recommend it.
  • 6thplanet6thplanet

    Just a few things I've done with it.
  • PWRRYDPWRRYD
    I've loved everything I've ever purchased from Eastwood.

    We use a company called Repliform at work.  They do a decent job, but they're not cheap and I don't have any pull as we hardly ever need their services.  They can coat with just about anything though.
