Is it just the copy chrome that your tring to use, or all three plating steps
(copper,nickel,chrome)
If you can get the copper on the parts from a bath, then I know you can nickle and chrome the parts. I use to do the brush plating...your going to need the flash copper for pot-metal or alum. its easier than the nickle strike. If the parts react with muratic then its pot-metal, you want to mix 50/50 muratic and water for your pot-metal etch, then go into your flash copper..of course this is after your proper prep of the parts.
