Hello,
I am looking for simular answers as Welder. I am brand spanking new to this and want to do some motorcycle stuff in order to save money on my personal bikes during some restorations. There are some things you can't buy already chromed and can't hardly afford to send out. I would like to do some small things such as brake calipers, side covers, fork tubes, foot pegs, speedometer housings and nuts & bolts. I want something durable but something that looks like real chrome. I am limited to one room in my house so I have to consider fumes & waste disposal. There are no kids or animals around so I don't have to worry about that. I really don't want to use a power source but I would be willing to if it would make a difference in quality & durability. Thank GOD & my dad I am mechanically inclined, so I could construct a power source & reostat. It seems I have all the time in the world as I am retired and looking for something to take up my time. I am considering the Copy Chrome Kit or the Colbalt Plating Kit. Which would have better results, the Copy Chrome Kit or the Colbalt Plating Kit
? (Which is better means durability and appearence) Initial set-up cost is not really a factor. The area I would be working in is about 20' by 20' and would be dedicated to this hobby. Any info. would be greatly apperciated (?) by Welder & I.
