Default CHROMING aluminum

I've seen the chroming kits on http://www.caswellplating.com for $495.00 (2 gallons) and i was wondering how many rims i could chrome with this kit? also, approximately how long will it take me to do one rim? thanks

Default Re: CHROMING aluminum

This question really belongs in the plating forum, not the polishing forum.

Rims are too large to plate with our plating kits. Because you need 1 - 1.5 amps/sq in surface area of the part to chrome plate, the power requirements are just too big.

You'd need a power source that outputs several hundred amps, plus a huge quantity of chrome solution to plate bumpers or rims.
