1. Will I have to still use the acid dip to remove the chrome and nickel coats?
|
Yes - you can't plate over existing chrome, so you'll have to strip that first. You must also "activate" existing nickle if you want to plate over that with nickel.

2. Can I use the flash copper to provide the base and then solder pits then a final coat of flash copper?
|
Yes - that will work.

4. Will Copy Chrome hold up under normal (classic car) seatbelt use?

Yes. It's very hardy.

5. Will the flash copper and Copy Chrome fill the fine etched wording? (hopefully not)
Last but not least, Can Copy Chrome be NOT buffed for a satin look? Maybe glass beading the copper prior to the Copy Chrome might give it the look.

It won't fill the etched wording, unless you put a VERY thick layer.
Bead blast the copper plate to a matte finish, then copy chrome for a sating look.
