Do you have to use flash copper to plate aluminum
I am trying to figure out how to use the triple chrome plating system to plate aluminum, so I can get a kit. Do I have to use the flash copper with the zincated aluminum, or can I just use the regular copper plating system. If I do have to use the flash copper, can I then go to the nickel right after that.
Is there another way people plate aluminum. I bought an aluminum piece that someone chromed, and it wasn't plated all around, and there was no trace of the pre zincate. I think I remember reading something about people using cyanide or something like that. Just curious how that was possible.
thanks,
Kenny
