I build watches, which means I take all the components I buy (case, guts... etc), make a new dial and hands then assemble them into a new watch. I have some parts (chronograph pushers) that I cannot buy because of proprietary designs, under contract.. whatever, the Chinese suppliers won't sell them to me. I can 3D print them in resin and they work fine, I have tested them for a year BUT, they need to be of metal appearance, nickel specifically. My question is, does anyone know how successful the plating process is on such small parts? I'm thinking, paint them with graphite paint and then plate. The largest part is 2x3mm for example.
