Chrome plating alumilite

[ScanneR]

My brother is recovering a Datsun 1200 for racing and asked me to help him restoring the tail light chromes. Because they were broken, I made a mold and used Alumilite for casting it.
To give the chrome aspect I tried several kinds of paints with no success. Then I found Caswell and see that there is other solutions to chroming.
So, all this to make a "simple" question, is it possible to use the Caswell products to chrome plastic parts made of Alumilite? If so, what is the best solution?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes it is possible, although not the easiest thing for beginners to do.

If you want a REAL chrome plate, you'd need a triple chrome kit. http://www.caswellplating.com/triple.htm

Otherwise, you can use Copy Chrome, http://www.caswellplating.com/copychrome.htm or Electroless Krome, http://www.caswellplating.com/electroless_krome.htm. If you go this route, you'll also need a copper plating kit. http://www.caswellplating.com/copper.htm

Now the hard part....you need to make these parts conductive somehow to plate them. So you need some Conductive Paint. http://www.caswellplating.com/csp24.htm

The (somewhat simplified) steps are:

1. Conductive Paint
2. Copper Plate
3. Buff
4. Nickel, Copy Chrome or Elec Krome
5. Real Chrome if desired.

I finally received the "Electroless Krome! Plating Kit", "Copper Plating Kit 1" and the "Copper Powder" ( picture in http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/4545/plating.jpg ) but it looks something is missing. Am I right?
About the plating process, where do I start? "The Complete Manual" has all types of plating and I don't know which I have to use and where to start. Any advices?
Thanks.
