Default Re: Chrome plating alumilite

Yes it is possible, although not the easiest thing for beginners to do.

If you want a REAL chrome plate, you'd need a triple chrome kit. http://www.caswellplating.com/triple.htm

Otherwise, you can use Copy Chrome, http://www.caswellplating.com/copychrome.htm or Electroless Krome, http://www.caswellplating.com/electroless_krome.htm. If you go this route, you'll also need a copper plating kit. http://www.caswellplating.com/copper.htm

Now the hard part....you need to make these parts conductive somehow to plate them. So you need some Conductive Paint. http://www.caswellplating.com/csp24.htm

The (somewhat simplified) steps are:

1. Conductive Paint
2. Copper Plate
3. Buff
4. Nickel, Copy Chrome or Elec Krome
5. Real Chrome if desired.
