Default Which Kit For Motorcycle Parts ?

Hi

I want to order a Triple Chrome Plating kit for Harley motorcycle parts. I figure it would be cheaper to buy a kit and do it myself than to pay the high retail prices for chrome parts. Would the two gallon kit be large enough or should I start with the four gallon kit? Is it safe to say that if it fits in a 3.5 gallon bucket, the 2 gallon kit would be sufficient? Also, what additional tools should I have to help me achieve a show quality finish.

Thanks, Jim

If the part can be totally immersed in 2 gallons of liquid (test it with water) then the 2 gallon kit will be big enough. You can always get different shaped tanks locally if the part doesn't fit in the tanks provided.

You'll need some polishing equipment also.
