BRIGHT NICKEL PLATING KIT
Ideal for DIY enthusiasts, car or motorcycle restorers.
With this kit you will get a bright mirror like finish without the need to polish after plating. It also gives good levelling and plating in low current density areas. The finish is not dissimilar in appearance to chrome but with a slightly different hue. Nickel will also give outstanding protection against corrosion.
This is probably the most comprehensive kit on the market. Other than a power supply, we include everything you need to get started.
The kit is easy to use and gives outstanding results on various metals including steel, iron, brass, copper and if used in conjunction with the correct metallic spray, can also plate non-metallic items. Setting up and getting started is easy, the plating process is quite quick with a typical 10 micron coating taking about 25 minutes.
This kit comes with a Bright Nickel electroplating guide. This detailed guide contains all the information you need to get great results.
There is also no need for an expensive power supply as we will show you how to use a 12v car battery or battery charger in conjunction with our current controller.

-
1.4kg Nickel Electrolyte chemicals (will make 5 litres )

Should the nickel anodes become exhausted or more electrolyte chemicals are needed, we can supply more at a very reasonable price.
