I just picked up my Gillette Fatboy & Slim from Reliable Electroplating earlier this week. Their work came out excellent (even better than I anticipated). I had seen some pictures of other customers where the numbers come out a bit blurry or not quite as crisp (post plating). I inquired about this when dropping them off, and was told that they'd try to do their best with the numbers. Well, they did a very nice job indeed. I can tell that they paid close attention to not rounding off the numbers. I have touched up the numbers with some black paint. I'm having a bit of trouble re-doing the red paint on the piece above the numbers. I did a decent job on the slim, but the fatboy will require another shot at it.
I had the Fatboy plated in Rhodium, and the slim done in Gold (in honor of the James Bond movie "Goldfinger", since Sean Connery uses the Gillette Slim in that movie). I took the pictures with my iPhone, so unfortunately they're not the best quality (neither is the lighting). It should give you a general sense of how these came out though. They look even better in person...
