Re: Conductive painting pot metal
Even if the process was successful, I doubt the plating would hold up. As soon as the filler starts shrinking or expanding, the plate will crack. The best tried and true method is to flash plate it with copper then give it a good build up in an acid copper plate. Sand that down to level pitting then do your final plating process. If the pits are deep, you can flash plate it then solder-fill the pits and sand that down. Using a filler like Bondo will only give you grief.
