I had a war surplus German helmet chrome plated back in the late 60's when I rode motorcycles daily (this was long before the outlaws had them) and the plater did a great job...but when I tried to drill a couple holes to mount the chin strap, I couldn't touch it...that was some *hard* steel...I finally had a welder do a couple quick burns with a stick to burn the holes through...
