I have seen these small D.I.Y. plating rigs in action at some of the
larger gun shows. These are typically used for chrome or gold plating on
small to medium sized (gun) parts. It does look like a paint brush with
a wire attached and it is amazing to watch because the chrome or gold
just "appears" like majic. The parts I have seen them used on were
thoroughly prepped so that was not an issue. The kind of rigs I have
seen would be great for small chrome parts such as door handles, seatbelt
buckles, knobs, hood ornaments & so forth. I think it would be harder to
get good even results on something like a bumper though. (Aren't
Imperial bumpers nickel plated anyway)? Any kind of pitting or uneven
polishing will definitely show up through the chrome.
