Different kits from different sources have different thickness platings, and in my opinion this is significant. Gold (streamline gold is just yuck) and Chrome (yup goes on taps and towel rails) are pretty ghastly. My best sellers are Gun Metal. Not because it is Gun Metal but because it accentuates the wood. Its the mix of wood and colour not the plating alone that sells, contrast is king.
