I know some people said that Joules did this work in the past, unfortunately, Joules in Canada is no longer with us. Does anyone know who else may be doing this work? I heard that maybe Joules associate may be doing this again? Does anyone do this plating work? Who does it the best if there's a choice? Thanks, Mark

Or duplicate it with a combination of misting of spray bombs. Here's what it should look like. Some guys have them Parkerized or Black Zink.
