When I did my '33 grille, I took it to the plater and had them remove the existing plating (by reversing the process). I then took it back repaired any damage, took it back and had it copper plated and then brought it home, soldered all the pits and sanded it ready for re coppering. Then I brought it home again and blocked all the copper to 320 grit, then returned it and let them finish it up. Turned out great, but still pretty expensive.
