Hmmmm, Maybe I mis-spoke on the problem w/ threads? I don't plate anything w/ threads, but was basing my assumption(ASS-sumption) on when I have had stuff powdercoated, & had the problem w/ threading a nut on studs that had powdercoat on them. From the look of the website pics, it looks like it is commonly done. How does the plating process work that it doesn't make the bolt threads to big or the nut threads to small w/ plating?
