Absolutely. I am hoping to move out of my parents' basement by 2014 when this POS will be running.

You can brush it after the fact also giving it a brushed look and not hurt the corrosion factor.

That was my thought. This ain't pro blinging over here obviously. :D

It's a cool finish. I just think the tone of the color is lighter than I want. I am doing with a dark grey/graphite powdercoat.

Thanks Matt. You doing it on your stuff?

yes all my rear links will be nickle'd along with my control arms.

its nice because if the material cracks so does the nickle unlike paint and powdercoat. plus it doesnt add any weight, well maybe a couple grams the plating is roughly .002" thick.
