I was browsing around the CZ forums and came across a thread which had asked if a certain handgun was offered in stainless steel. At this time the handgun is not, yet there were pictures of the firearm in question that clearly looked the part.

It would appear that the individual who owned the handgun had the pistol sent off to be "plated"(?) to have that appearance.

How difficult would this be and how durable would such a "plating" be compared to a traditional finish such as parkerizing or blueing?
