Default Need info before I purchase

I just got the online manual and read through it my first day. I understand most of it but have a few questions.

I have a 125 amp rectifier already. I plan to plate big parts, upwards of a maximum of 5 square feet(720 square inches). It looks like I won't be able to triple chrome plate, since i would need 720 amps for the chrome plate. So I am leaning towards buying the Copy Chrome kit since 1 amp can do 15 square inches, or in my case, a maximum of 1875 square inches, way more than I need.

So my main question is the copy chrome a comparible finish to the show quality triple chrome plate? would I be able to notice the difference between a triple chrome and copy chrome? is so, by how much? I plan to plate every single piece on my drag cars that I possible can.

Another question, you state that copy chrome is tougher than nickel, tougher as in how? tough like hard chrome? will the copy chrome hold up to conditions a vehicles gives?

Last question, If I were to buy the 4 gallon kit, could I turn that into a 20 gallon kit by adding more water and sulferic acid? Like I stated before, I plan to do upto 5 square feet so the 4 gallons won't cut it, for when i want to plate dirtbike frames and big car parts.

and as always, you guys rock and thanks for any help you give me.
