Sooooo I just got this authentic 24k gold plated Patriot cap and i'm wondering what gold/polished brass mech mod would look flush/matched with the golden patriot. I currently have a stingray clone which ONCE was super polished and sexy brass but after a month and regular polishing, became brushed...
I'm planning to get a new gold/brass mod and spray that ish with maybe some rustoleum clear coat to prevent any tarnishing. Any thoughts/suggestions are welcawmmmm

You just have to get it gold plated.

does it even vape bro? DOES IT EVEN VAPE?

nice mod congrats.

the King Mech mod comes in a gold plate finish. there will be a 1 MM different in diameter between the rda and the mod. but you probably wont notice a 1 mm difference.

well having something small like the body of a mod gold plated from a professional hard to say but my guess is $150-$200

you might get way with using a kit like this.
some metals require you to plate something like copper first then plate the gold over the copper or the use of an "activator" so the base metal will take the gold plate. you need to do some research as to what type of metal the mod is.
i would recommend 10-14 karat gold plating for a mod if its something that you will use a lot. the higher the karat the softer the plate will be and the quicker it will wear off.

Gold Zenkote Z2 would be nice for it

this seems like a lot easier and cheaper of an option than having your mod electroplated

Built circuit boards for years. First, cleaning in a 10% sulfuric acid bath. Activated in a sulfuric / palladium bath. Electroless nickel plate, .0003-5". Rinse. Immersion gold plate, .00002". Rinse and dry. The gold plating is rather soft though; it's only function is to prevent the solderable nickel from oxidizing. Hard gold is usually done with electroplating, but always over a nickel plated base.

There are lots of shops that specialize in just plating metals, I am sure plenty of them in the SD area.
