Default Re: PLATING POT METAL...............

Hey everyone i am having a problem.....OK i have a 83 Honda V65 Magna i am restoring and there is lots of pot metal to do.......well i have the flash copper, acid copper and copy chrome. The Flash copper works good but when i go from the flash rinse and go into the acid copper, the acid copper doesnt cover the entire part and it looks like ****.......i wire wheel the part, sand some areas smooth, wash with dawn, soak in SP degreaser and into the flash copper at high for one minute and then down to the normal amps for that part, the rinse and into the acid tank. So then it comes out crappy. Both tanks are at room temp. cuz i have tried heating but after i finish with flash and go into acid it bubbles. i tried (hot) flash and then ruff part up and into sp greaser to put into acid but the flash copper was bubbling too after that.............so if anyone can help........much appreciated...

Shawn
