Thats awesome Beaky,  
Is nickel plating the same as chrome?
if you were to start plating as a service, I would be keen to get some parts done down the track.

Cheers
Dave

nickle is the closest to chrome you will get (other than chrome itself)

I have done some more parts and have come up just as good.
but just like any plating if there are any dints or scratches or pits in the metal it will show.

and yes i do intend starting a plating service.
