I think were on the same page here David to use your example of the windscreen frame using just one plating process plus not masking of you get two different finishes ,one on the front because its polished and one on the back with no polishing thus utilising the frosted texture of the steel to get two looks with the one process. In the case of the hand brake the grip is usually polished and the shank is textured like what sand blasting would give you ,
