platers
Chrome shop workers
Platers are workers who apply metal coatings to surfaces, typically through electroplating or other finishing processes.
The term appears in manufacturing contexts where parts need protective or decorative metal layers: The platers finished the chrome bumpers.
In horse racing, a plater is a horse that competes in claiming races—lower-tier events where any horse can be purchased for a set price.
