EN: nickel-plated
The OG 'chrome' finish before 'chrome' was cool. Think of those shiny, silvery parts of an old jeepney, a classic revolver in a Pinoy action movie, or the hardware on your lola's antique aparador. It's the process of giving something a 'bling' makeover with a protective layer of nickel. It says 'I'm fancy and I won't rust easily.'
From Spanish 'niquelado' (nickel-plated).
