if they are steel it will be a good choice for a long lasting shine and finish including a power supply choice. id recommend practicing on some scrap items before you plate the first ones as well.

if you buy the triple chrome kit your buying the same material a plating shop will use on the parts just on a much smaller scale. figure your power supply this way, you will need a power supply big enough where you can plate the parts in the chrome at 1 amp per square inch of surface area.
