The NEW FORMULA

Triple Chrome Plating Kit

New Formula which makes the operating range of Chrome plating much easier; even the novice can do this! The 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 with a pot metal primer or Pot Metal Nickel, zinc die cast substrates. There are three different processes, each with its own tank & chemicals, as well as an Electro cleaning/ Electro stripping tank.

The chrome plate is always applied over a nickel plate, which will fuse to most metals quite readily. The copper plating system is used as a hi-build filler to cover blemishes, pits and scratches. The copper plate can be built up to thickness' of 1/8", and solder-it or Pit Stop 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!

The nickel-plating system can be either the Pot Metal Nickel or Regular Nickel. This will readily accept the final layer of chrome plate. The power source may be either a 6v or 12v battery or charger. Current is regulated using bulbs, a salt-water rheostat made from 2 metal plates and a small container of salt water, or a plating rectifier. A small quantity of battery acid and hydrochloric acid is required. Nickel-plating process will take approx. 30-60 minutes. Copper plate operation will take from 10 minutes to several hours if building up thick layers. The final Chrome layer takes only 4 minutes.

Nickel & Copper kits will plate approx. 20 to100 square feet of surface area depending on kit size before the anodes need replacing. The Chrome solution will plate over 2000 sq. ft of decorative chrome, & for most operations should not need replacement. Solutions last over the life of many sets of anodes and are not usually disposed of. Procedures for handling these minimal quantities are outlined in the manual. There are no cyanides in these systems. A system of fume control for the chrome, consisting of fume control balls and a chemical mist and fume suppressant is included with every kit. Full instructions for fume control are discussed in the manual.
