You'd really need to submerse the entire part for an even finish.
If they'ew pot metal, you'd need to pot metal prime them, copper plate, nickel plate, chrome plate. Look at our <a href="/triple.htm">Triple Chrome Plating Kit</a>. It would be extremely difficult to plate these while still attached to the car.

Hmm, I thought I replied to this, oh well. I think submersing the caliper is out of the question due to the moving parts associated with it. The entire bracket is okay to due, but I could probably due about 2/3 to 3/4 of the caliper. I am not too worried about a totally even finish, after all how many people see the back of the calipers! How would I go about finding out what the parts are made of?

I imagine they're steel. Are they very light or heavy feeling? Light would be pot metal. It's rare to find pot metal on a part that takes some sort of pressure, like a brake caliper. Pot metal doesn't stress very well.
The test for Pot Metal is to take a small drop of battery acid and drop it onto the part. If it fizzes, it's pot metal.

Hard chrome is something different...you want decorative. So, yes, a 2 Gallon Triple Chrome Kit would do the job.
