Plating At Home

I've played around with the Copy Chrome kit from Caswell. The results were fair. To do that you also have to have their Flash Copper Kit. It's all fairly tricky and you have to have a decent power supply. You'll spend some money before you're done. One of the biggest tricks is prepping your piece to be plated. It's like doing body work. The plating itself is so thin that if there's even the tiniest imperfection, you'll see it in the finished piece. The process requires time and strick attention to details.

If you cruise the forum on their site you'll find guys who try it and really struggle to get results they're happy with. You just have to understand what you're getting into.
