Excellent results!
If its the same company, Classic Plating are based in Teignmouth, Devon, where I live. I popped in a few weeks ago to have a chat and found the owner extremely helpful and knowledgeable. an interesting aside to our conversation was that they do a Cadmium Nickel anode, which gives a more chrome like look, and is apparently considerably tougher than pure nickel.
I shall be attempting to plate some parts for the Grasshopper in the next few months, including the windscreen frame and the Radiator cowl, once we have a metal one. Obviously the amount of electrolyte required will be considerably more, but even so the cost of DIY plating is still considerably less than sending it away to be done.
