You can plate a bumper by brush plating, but we don't recommend it because it's not time efficient and will result in a slightly uneven layer.
It won't leave streaks or brush marks, but it will be difficult to plate a perfectly even layer simply because you won't be able to ensure that you brush every inch of it for exactly the same amount of time. This may or may not be important to you.
The instructions are a small booklet. If you plan to do a lot of plating, get the manual too.
Take the emblem off if you can, or make sure to mask the surrounding area in case of acid spills.
A sulfuric acid solution is used to activate the nickel.
The gold we sell is 24ct.
4 oz of gold will plate approx. 0.5 - 1 sq foot.
