gold switches

[bjg]

my strat has gold hardware but the switches I'm getting are chrome. i don't mind too much if they are chrome but it would be cool if there was some way i could get them to match the gold on the rest of the guitar. i know you can buy them at places like allparts but those are very pricey.

thanks,
Blake

you might try spray varnish.

i've used it on brushed aluminum and polished sheet metal.

looks a little more like brass than gold.

don't know how well it will stick to chrome.

experiment on some junk chrome first.
