copy chrome and rectifiers

[mivkas]

Hi guys.
I am planning on buying the 3 gallon copy chrome setup and the professional brush plating system.
My questions are:
* How large of an area can be plated using the 3 amp rectifier that is included in the brush plating system, using immersion plating?
* Can the larger rectifiers be used to plate small parts such as bolts, emblems bezels etc...? If it can't, then could I plate several small parts at one time to increase the area and still get an even coat across all items with the items being different sizes?
* Is it worth it to own both the flash copper and the acid copper kits? How thick can the flash copper be built up? Or is it better to own just the acid copper kit. I am looking at restoring old car emblems and hood ornaments that are pitted. I will be filling the pits with solder.
Thanks in advance for any help.

With the three gallon kit you will be limited to the size piece you can fit into the tank
all of the old car emblems and ornaments were made from pot metal and I can say from experience this is a tough quest for a beginner and requires lots of practice
for this set up you will need Flash copper and copy chrome I would recommend at least a 10amp rectifier
