Abstract
A process for chrome plating a non-ferrous object includes copper plating the non-ferrous object which has had burrs and surface irregularities removed. The surface of the copper plated object is smoothed, and copper plate irregularities removed, by moving dry abrasive media over the object for a pre-determined period of time. Typically, this is done by placing the copper plated object into a finishing machine having dry abrasive media therein. The object is then chrome plated.
