Want to electroplate Nickel on used blued handgun
What prep is required?
Remove blueing then polish or vice versa? How do I remove all traces of gunpowder residue and lead? Do I need to plug barrel so it doesn't get nickeled? What sort of plug if yes? Do I need flash copper or can I plat directly over steel? Does flash copper get buffed? If no, would Nickel be dull due to unbuffed copper?

Muriatic acid to remove the bluing.
The polish and degrease. Then nickel plate. You CAN plug the barrel, but it shouldn't plate inside because the anodes won't throw inside a barrel. See our tutorial on lines of force on our web site. You can use a plastic plug, or a cork.
