What to buy?

[ellen]

I want to plate small items(door handles, knobs and other small parts on a car)some will be pot metal. Will the pot metal primer and copy chrome work? I just need a small systems.

As far as plating supplies go, yes, that should be all you'll need.

You'll also want some polishing supplies and perhaps some pot metal repair supplies, such as Solder or perhaps even a copper plating kit, depending on the condition of your pot metal parts.
