Dave Mac (his username is maicomc490t or something very similar) was doing wet blasting.

Most guys are sending their barrels to the USA or England or South Africa to get plated...

Electrosil in Melbourne do a very good job of replating.. we use them often. I've just had my '79 KX250 done and it's perfect.

There is also another plater in NZ that gets rave reports. Cant remember their website address though. I dont know why people are reluctant to use the platers in Australia though, are they really that bad?

One is about three times the cost of getting it done OS.
The other is cheaper but still considerably dearer than OS, and often does a poor job.
