Has anyone brass plated pinball parts? Is it worth it or should I just paint them?
I have an Indiana Jones pinball that I'm renovating. I like how the gun handle looks when brass plated (see http://www.zplating.com/cart/index.php?p=catalog&parent=53&pg=1). That price is just for the plating. Has anyone done this and think it's worth the money? Same for the wire form ramps.
Can you get close to this look by painting with brass metallic paint? I can buy this stuff at Home Depot for $4 instead of spending $300 plating the parts:
Rust-Oleum Specialty 11 oz. Gloss Brass Metallic Aerosol Paint
