    Hello all,
    I am wondering if anyone has experience and/or advice doing nickel and chrome plating on stoves. Whether you do it yourself or where you have it done and the equipment and costs of doing it or having it done. I've seen some small scale setups, but don't know if those results would necessarily be the same on a stove fount. I have containers and a lab type 0-36 volt 6 amp power supply.

    Also does anyone know a good place to have the fired enamel coatings done and the cost?

    Thanks, any and all advice is sincerely appreciated.

    Mike

    I do a lot of aluminium anodizing and if the basics are kept, then the result is quite ok!

    See here: http://www.caswellplating.com/
    And they have a forum, so just go on.
