Default Chrome kit sizing question

Hi. I wound up getting a good deal on a 0-15 volt, 0-50 Amp power supplyand now I'm tryin to decide which size of triple chrome kit to order. I understand that the upper limits of my power supply for chroming will limit me to about 50 square inches max, right? But what I didn't understand from the pick-a-kit helper was which gallon size kit would match that amount of square inches. I don't want to buy a kit that's too small to make use of the power available, but I don't want to spend money on capacity I don't have the power for, either.

Also, if I should run across a deal on a 250 Amp power supply later on, is it possible to just order the supplies to match the then-increased capacity?

And finally, one last question about capacity. I remember in the online manual about how to set up the long tube-type bath for doing long, thin parts by passing them through it. Could a similar set-up be done for chroming motorcycle solid wheels, by plating them and then rotating the wheel in the bath 1/4 turn at a time, then polishing it together afterwards?
Thanks again.
