Default Brush vs. Tank plating amperage

I am going to be brush plating sections of decorative plates (already nickle plated) with Fast Gold.

1. I have read that tank plating requires approx 1 amp per 15 square inches. How many square inches per amp is required for brush plating?

2. My pieces will range from 9 square inches to 144 square inches. I plan on buying a 10 amp rectifier. Is this big enough, or should I go to the 25 amp machine?

3. How much coverage can I expect from the 4 oz Fast Gold solution?

I think that's it.

Thanks.
