Do you have to use flash copper to plate aluminum
I am trying to figure out how to use the triple chrome plating system to plate aluminum, so I can get a kit. Do I have to use the flash copper with the zincated aluminum, or can I just use the regular copper plating system. If I do have to use the flash copper, can I then go to the nickel right after that.
Is there another way people plate aluminum. I bought an aluminum piece that someone chromed, and it wasn't plated all around, and there was no trace of the pre zincate. I think I remember reading something about people using cyanide or something like that. Just curious how that was possible. thanks, Kenny

you do not have to use any copper plating on it as long as its in good shape, you must zincate then nickel plate though.
the pick a kit helper on the home page will answer this same question and others similar to it as well. bill
