Re: copper to chrome question
Chrome will adhere to copper, but for the best colored finish, and for best corrosion resistance, chrome should be plated over nickel.
To ensure a shiny finish, the pre-plated finish needs to be shiny. Get the part looking like it has been chrome plated before you chrome plate it.
