Nickel plating Pinball parts
« on: September 20, 2010, 10:45:09 AM »
Looks great,

How are you nickle plating at home?

What do we need so we can do this ourselves too?

Thanks,

Red
I use diluted Hydrochloric acid to remove the old plaiting for a start.
Then I used a bench ginder with a wire brush on it to remove as many scratches as i could.
here is the link where i buy my stuff from http://www.janekits.com.au/mainframe.php

there is quite a  bit to it of course.

I will be doing more today.
