    Awesome work. Did you nickel plate first or is the gold applied directly to the steel ?

    gold directly to the steel.
    Is there a problem?

    I don't have any experience to say but I remember another member doing this a few years back & he first nickel plated. IIRC he said the gold adhered to nickel better than steel but you seem to have had a stellar result.

    Thanks. It seems just fine.
    I think original plated is directly to the steel.
