Nickel Stripping and Plating

A week later I've finished the stripping and polishing plus
Nickel plated a great variety of parts , mostly for my GE Cup special.

The Lucas side marker lamps came up extremely well,
As well as the mirror and instrument rims.

I plated about 4 items at a time, takingperhaps
15-20 mins, mostly on the 6v setting on my battery charger.

This was a bright nickel kit and I used a fine scotchbrite pad
to knock back the glossy look.  Steel wool would also do .

My Screen and Rad shell will have to go to the Platers though.

Total cost of home plating exercise £90, but easily enough 
chemicals left to do another batch of similar size x 3 !!

The only difficulty was with two mazak handles that I had
Sanded . I think copper plating first would sort that base metal.

Here are the messy bits
The orange tub is for rinsing .
The one with the bus bar is the plating tank.

The other two are for a caustic dip and an acid dip.

Two other tubs were used for the electto stripping
