 To go along with Oscar's post

IP plating is like electroplating of finishes that are weaker than the metal they are deposited on.  They can be buffed off if you choose to.

PVD finishes are harder than the steal that they are deposited on given there chemical make up.  They have come a long way over the past 5 years.
