Default PnP Nickel kit info needed.

I just purchased a Caswell Nickel plug and plate kit. How large of parts can I do with this? I want to plate a Desert Eagle pistol. Will this kit do it, or will I need a larger kit. If so, what do you recommend. Also, What is the best way to prep the metal? It is blued steel. I am a powder coater, and this is my first plating experiment. Thanks for the help.

The PnP Nickel will work great, but a tank setup would be ideal for a part the size you describe.

The most important part of plating is in the preparation. You'll want to have bare, clean steel before beginning the plating process.
