Plastic Chrome Plating

[mr.wagon]

Hi, I am interested in your plating kits. But I have some quections with them. First I will spray the parts with Conductive Paint, then plated with copper. Afterwards, can I use Copy Chrome Kits to get the same quality of Commercial Chorme-Plated Products? Or the triple chrome kit is more suitable?

If you want a commercial quality chrome plate, the only option is the Triple Chrome kit. It\'s the only kit we sell that gives a REAL chrome plate and uses standard commercial techniques to get the required finish.

The Triple Chrome kit includes copper, nickel and chrome plating kits.

Thank you, but how long time need plating the object for each plating process?

[mcaswell]

Copper - approx 15 mins.
Nickel - approx 10 mins.
Chrome - approx 2 mins.

How about the Voltage and Amp ?

[mcaswell]

Copper - 1-6V, 0.05-0.1 amps/sq in
Nickel - 1-6V, 0.05-0.06 amps/sq in
Chrome - 3-12V, 1.0-1.5 amps/sq in

Thank you, and are the heaters in Triple Chrome Kit (2Gal) operate at 110v? And how many Watt do they consume? And do you have any transformer change 220v to 100/110v since electricity voltage of Hong Kong is 220v?

They\'re 300Watt heaters. You can source them locally at an aquarium dealer.

We don\'t sell converters.

We also won\'t be able to send you the Triple Chrome kit to Hong Kong. It\'s classified as Dangerous Goods for transportation. We can ship this product to California, then you could arrange your own shipping to Hong Kong.

If then I will take the Copy Chrome Kit instead of it. How about the Watt consume of the heaters in Copy Chrome Kit and Copper Plating Kit?

[mcaswell]

They\'re the same.
