When comparing electropolishing to other metal finishing operations, like plating and coatings, one frequently asked question is whether it wears off over time. The finish resulting from electropolishing will last indefinitely and will not chip, peel or abrade like platings and coatings. If over time, as a result of physical damage, the electropolished surface requires refurbishing or re-machining, there is nothing to strip or remove prior to accomplishing this.
