could anyone tell me which kit is best for pot metal. would the electroless kit be better than the copy chrome? I have many parts to do from old juke boxes and would appreciate the help and input.

The trick is to get Flash Copper on the part first, then it won't matter which finish (electroless or copychrome) you use. Personally I like the results I get with the Electroplated nickel, and the maintenance on the tanks is nearly nothing--unlike electroless.

Please read the extensive posts on plating pot metal. You're in for a real ride.

Kind regards,
Ken
