Satin Chrome

Q. Dear Metal finishers,

Have anyone heard of Satin Chrome? I've heard of Satin Nickel. Could it be Satin nickel plated with bright Chrome? If there is, are there any suppliers out there? Will appreciate very much if someone can comment on this.

Regards,

A. Dear Jerry:

It is possible to plate a follows to obtain Satin Chrome. Bright Nickel Undercoat. 4 to 5 microns. Satin Nickel - 7 to 10 microns Chrome plate at 10 ASF for 2 to 3 minutes. The finish will be smooth Non Reflective with a light blue tine.

Best of luck,

A. You can plate satin nickel directly on steel or copper. Bright nickel is a little bit risk. You can plate on satin nickel chrome, gold or brass. The look is very good.
