Hi Dan,

    I was told that the overseas casters who receive a large casting
    order will sometimes farm the job out to two or three shops because
    of limited in-house volume capabilities. The satellite shops may not
    be using the same COLOR alloy even though the karaatge is the same,
    so plating is used to create the appearance of homogeneity. Made
    sense to me. 

Best,
Wayne
