Price of Copy Chrome vs. electroless Krome plating

[dwthomas]

It looks like the electroless Krome plating costs $198 for the first 5 sq. ft. (one gallon kit), I can replentish this kit with parts A ($35) and C ($32) for a total of 16 platings of almost 7 sq ft at a total cost of $265 and at this point I must discard the solution and start over. The electro Copy Chrome costs $105 for the first 25 sq. ft and all I have to do is keep replacing anodes at $22 ea. plating another 25 sq ft with the solution remaining good forever, is this a correct observation?

Yes, that sounds right. Electroless plating is much more expensive.
