Well from my limited experience I have learned that coho will hit pink and steelies like the orange, red, blue, yellow so you could try painting half one of those colors. I have just readied 300+ spoons in anticipation of the upcoming season with a variety of colors and finishes...... Addiction is not always such a bad thing!
Something to do with this crappy weather! I would like to learn how to get a nice gold shine........
Gold factory blades and spoons are coated with a thin layer real 24k gold. You could try some gold and an electroplating rig. I would look for cheap jewelry at a pawn shop. Apparently silver is sometimes used because it is supposed to be much brighter than nickel or stainless steel. You may want to practice with something a little less expensive though.
Spoon blanks from R & BAre those all lil cleos?
it looks to me like it could be a couple different problems, either reverse current (which is not likely) or the oxidation was not removed from the part. Could also be a lack of activation, or too high of voltage.
Typically Nickel is used as a base plate because it doesn't oxidise or tarnish like silver does. In cases where silver is used as a base to brighten a finish, it would usually be plated silver right before the next layer of plating is applied.
