Interested in getting a nickel-like look on a Pietta without plating.
So i read on this forum some posts about people putting piettas in the white by soaking them in vinegar for 30 mins - and that this may lighten the 'case hardening' but not entirely.
How does it affect the case hardening?
What is the best way to achieve a nickel-like look?
Does this require polishing and how is the best way to do it?
I also read something about Mother's polish - is this the best to use?
--- Finally, does anyone have a pic of a Pietta they put in the white? - I would like to see how it looks before I do something i later regret
Thanks for your help
