Hi all, this is my first posting where I must say that I am pleased to have come across these products where I have not purchased any yet but do have a number of questions.
Basically, I am interested in the Triple Chrome Plating Kits. From reading about the various products and this forum it would seem the most appropriate of kits.
For the most what I hope to do is refinish vintage vehicle parts both internal and external though the latter being to a much greater degree.
My initial interest is in plating 17" steel hub caps. So this takes me to the first question as I have seen it written that these products are more for smaller parts but, what is considered as small parts.
Considering the 17" hub caps. Would it be practical to triple chrome such parts using either a 6 or 12 volt battery. Considering the size of these hub caps and the fact that they are only about 1.5" in thickness, what would be the most appropriate kit size.
I am also hoping to refinish the vehicle window frames where the size of these items are in the region of 24 x 15 x 1
Perhaps what I ought to ask here is what space is required between objects being plated and the sides of the containers. So in the above window frame example, could I triple plate in a container of say 30 x 20 x 6 inches.
Another question is ampage. How accurate do caculations need to be when with odd shapes this can be very difficult to estimate.
Many thanks for any input
