Is the aluminum trim nickel plated? 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Ajb164 on  Tue Sep 24 22:01 CST 2024 [RELATED]

I tried to sand some of the “chrome” aluminum trim on my 164 to remove scratches. I removed the scratches AND apparently some sort of coating. Could this be a nickel plating, or is it actually chrome plated? I’m thinking of using nickel electroplating to restore the look and durability. Any other suggestions?
