Plating At Home

Has anyone tried any of these kits from caswellplating.com. I am considering trying the nickel electroless plating kit for some of my smaller parts. Like the ash trays and maybe the shifter center console. My concern is I am a firm believer in the "you get what you pay for" group. How good could it be for 50 dollars? I am not looking for a showroom car or even a competition car. I want something I am not afraid to drive any day of any week.

I personally think the showroom competition vehicle destroy the original intent of the manufacturer. Very few cars in my opinion were built as works of art and to that note they were designed to be driven. I am getting off track though and I hope I didn't upset anyone it was not my intention.

Anyway what I want to know is if anyone has tried any of these kits and were they worth trying? I don't expect to be able to do my bumpers, although at 300 a pop I would love to, but I have some smaller pieces that need some tlc and I want them to look pretty lol.
