chrome dip vs. chrome plating

[PetesPonies]

Craig, are you serious? One example makes it right? Just as one example doesn't make it wrong either. We have to consider hundreds, thousands etc. Over the years, which has lasted longer in an exposed environment?
Also, I haven't seen anyone respond to the anodic properties of the materials used. It's a very important part of plating and why certain materials are used in plating. Eliminating this area is problematic. Explain to me why it isn't?
