Default Can aluminum be satisfactorly BRUSH plated?

I've been told different things by different people. I have several aluminum motorcycle parts already polished that need to be gold plated. We do BRUSH plating and some tell me that at BEST, the gold will plate dull if at all. Is this true? Can it be brush plated with a SHINY result? HELP PLEASE!!! [/code][/b]

You should immersion nickel plate them (or electroless) immediately after Zincating. Then brush plate the gold onto the nickel.

Default Can the Woods Nickel Strike be used?

Can the woods nickel strike used for brush plating be set up to tank plate for a one time use? Should it be diluted? If so how much and with water I Guess??
