Electrolesskrome Question

[Josh I]

I want to try the electrolesskrome kit but have a few questions.

if i the part i want to plate is steel and it is polished to a high shine can i just use the electroless chrome to plate it?

Or

Do i still need to use either regular nickel or electroless nickel under it to have it adhere to the metal?

thanks for the help

Electroless Krome will plate directly onto steel (not stainless steel)
