Default Re: Copper plating question

Hi... Yet another failed attempt despite reducing the amps by 50%, please check this picture.... 2 attempts to nickel plate....First attempt the whole piece came out dull and required a lot of mopping to bring the shine up despite plating onto a mirror finis steel.
Second attempt as per picture the same dull finish but this time with a small area of bright mirror nickel,any ideas why its plated excellent in the areas where it has but left the rest dull again.
For reference the bright area was hung near the top of the tank as its being held in pictures.
Please can you confirm that a proper nickel plate should come out of the tank as shiny as it went in?
