I was thinking of having my 1958 Gretsch die-cast hoops (toms & the snare stick-choppers) re-chromed.
I've got a contact - a foundry - and they can do it but they said they have to look at the metal (hoops) to see if they could withstand the process - something about thickness and quality of metal being rechromed. I haven't gotten back to them yet.
I thought I'd check it out here first to see if anyone has done this or knows of where I could get more information on the subject.
