24K Gold Plating Kit, Gold Electroplating Kit, - Etsy
This Jewelry item by beckerelectronics has 902 favorites from Etsy shoppers. Ships from Port Saint Lucie, FL. Listed on Feb 16, 2024www.etsy.com
The home kit I posted only costs $59 & comes with the goldThanks all. I've called a few jewelers to no avail. some of the listed platers are larger companies that don't do something small. A new trigger is $75 so it may be cheaper to just buy new. Hoping to find a hobby person who has a home kit.
Huh!Thanks all. I've called a few jewelers to no avail. some of the listed platers are larger companies that don't do something small. A new trigger is $75 so it may be cheaper to just buy new. Hoping to find a hobby person who has a home kit.
I'll guess that those old time jewelers in downtown potland, that were fixtures since the early 1900s, have closed up shop.Huh!
Is this because its a gun part?
I cant remember who, but I use to know of two in jewelers Portland around SW Oak street. that did at least rhodium, and silver touch up plating albeit 20 years ago when I had a silver and turquoise belt buckle repaired. One even had Laser soldering, relatively new at the time, which was extremely helpful for my part, to contain the heat.
Also, My Aunt had some silver things re-plated at some jewelers in Gresham albeit this too was about 1990. Just seems odd, at the very least sad, I guess such service is no longer cost effective. Bummer.
Have you looked to see if there is a jewelry / arts school, maybe Portland Community college, or similar? I'm sure some student there would like to make a buck or two.
all else fails
Unfortunately, it looks like bliss plating is permanently closed… Thanks for the suggestion, though.Try Bliss Plating. They were located at 3576 SE Division St.
I use to have fishing tackle lure blades gold plated. They did a great job.

I just remembered, I used to deal with a plater some years ago. His business was called "Antique Arts Metal Craft". He USED to be around SE 56-7th and Foster in Portland. He refurbish/plated metal. A very interesting shop he had. I know the city of potland was always on his butt with the chemicals he dealt with.Unfortunately, it looks like bliss plating is permanently closed… Thanks for the suggestion, though.
I used to work part time in a plating shop in AZ. They had to employ someone full time to deal with all the nonsense from the EPA, State, City and other random government overreach agencies that felt the need to stick their nose in his business.I know the city of potland was always on his butt with the chemicals he dealt with.
Thanks. This is a pretty good find. I may try this out.There's a guy on eBay that does restoration of these triggers.
