A revolution in real decorative chrome
plating; this new kit has special additives which widen
the operating range of the system, making the system
much easier for the novice to control. The only addition
neccessary to the chrome system is distilled water.
A small amount of battery acid is required for the copper
system.
This 3 step chrome plating kit has been
designed to provide a show quality nickel, copper &
chrome plate on items such as headlights, bezels, bumperettes,
nuts & bolts, brackets, etc. It can be applied to
copper, steel, brass, and zinc die cast substrates.
There are three different processes,
each with its own tank & chemicals, as well as
the Electrocleaning and Electrostripping tanks. The
chrome plate is always applied over a nickel plate,
which will fuse to most metals quite readily. The
acid copper plating system is used as a hi-build
filler to cover blemishes, pits and scratches. The
copper plate can be built up to thicknesses of 1/8",
and solder-it can be used to fill in deeper pits.
The solder and plate is then sanded/polished and re-plated
before nickel plating. This is an invaluable tool
for the restorer!
Now, with the addition of Flash
Copper™ to this kit, you can plate onto Pot
Metal without having to buy additional kits. Pot Metal
parts are plated first with Flash Copper™. They
may then be built up with the regular Copper system
if desired, then nickel and chrome plated.
The included Pickle
#4 solution lets you plate onto lead and pewter
easily. After immersing in Pickle #4, you should plate
with Flash Copper™.
