I went to a shop to have a small auto part that already is anodized blue to be plated with chrome. I was quote around 100 dollars, this seems a bit high to me. They told me they would need to strip the anodizing than polish than plate. Can i do this myself using caswell products but alot cheaper? Would i even need to strip it or could i possibly use copy chrome? Any help would be great. Thanks.

they are going to have to strip the anodizing then polish and depening on their procees and the base metal plate with copper, then nickel, then chrome, plating involes a lot of prep work . for me 95% of the time spent on an item is prep work prior to plating.

an important point to remember,
You need to be able to conduct electricity through whatever it is you want to plate.
Anodised coatings are non-conductive.Comment
