New finishing vs. re-plating. From what I've been explained, the issue with replating a bike first requires a complete removal of all the substrate layers. Then begins the process sanding out flaws and blems. Is this the same with 'replating' shops using trivalent? If so, would imagine some wicked chem process in the stripping alone.
