Rob_Mitchell Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well im investing in a gold plating machine for work, not cheap over 1k but i think it will be worth it for business. actually its a superb idea as i can bling the whole engine now without sending off and getting big bills but then on a down side it will prob not earn me or the company extra money, which i have said to my dad it will ha ha plus it does chrome too, so happy days Got my training day either this wednesday or following wednesday bling bling.

d-_-b Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Haha, nice one dude Sure by the time you have plated a few bits you were planning on doing you will be well on the way to justifying buying the machine over having lots of parts done At least that way it sounds all good Will be cool to see how some of your 1st parts come out!

monsween Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Defo worth the money mate. You'll make a mint out of it. Classic car forums/motorbike forums etc etc. I'll be sending some stuff to be chromed more than likely in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Working on the fact i might want some stuff done, Id say its well worth it and to do it NOW. Working on the company, its right offable against tax anyway? So not a massive amount to spend i will pay for itself in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
