The nickel kit is $255 - includes everything you need to setup ;

Is that the setup you have, Beaky ?
Nino and milsy
I bought the electroless Nickel Plating
I have been busy plating all day.
I stopped and had a break, and then i decided to polish a couple of Items on the buffer. BIG MISTAKE (well not really) the parts came up so shiny I am now going to have to buff all of the parts.
Its a pitty that pinball parts are so pitted, I could linish them first but i would have to remove so much metal that the parts would become to thin
here is another before pic followed by a few after pics.
the first photo shows the parts with the zinc plating and rust removed (raw metal)
the others show them after plating and buffing.
any one need a new mirror?  &&
