That gold plating looks awesome,the real deal,You can also have a much  cheaper gold look apparently what the platers do is flash the plating with chromium.Do the back-yard nickel baths use different chems or do they just plate nickel.

My Nickel and plating kit are only suitable for small baths. This part is just too big.

I think "gold plating" is an interesting idea, I could do the habittrail at the same time. How expensive is it ?
