Ok, a little more reading on the site/forum, and I think I may have answered my own question (but still have a few more).

It looks like I have a pot metal part and I need the Pot Metal Primer kit.

1. Is the POt metal primer kit the same thing as the "POT METAL Electroless Nickel Plating Kit"? (ALZ59)

2. Did I truly contaminate my 1 gallon of copy chrome solution by hanging a pot metal handle in there for 20 minutes? (It was new before that). I hope not.

3. If the answer to #2 is "yes", can I buy one gallons worth of copy chrome crystals? Site only lists 2 gallons worth for $125! Expensive mistake!!

4. How can I strip that handle (see pic links above). Would like to try to plate it again. Can I use sulfuric acid solution and reverse polarity de-plate it? If so, what kind of anode to use? (or is it a cathode in that case?) Will plain mild steel work??
