Gold plating emblems
My mother wants to gold plate the large emblem in the grille of her SL. Does anyone know what this is made of? Has anyone had this plated before?

I think that it is actually is done with gold plating (very thin, of course). Someone I work with has a 129 with this done. I took a close look at it and the gold plating is thin, stone chips knock through the gold and expose the silver over time.
Just my opinion, I think it is tacky on any car.
