This actually took more than today to be perfected, but today was my successful attempt.
I needed to improve my petrol tank filler as it had lost it’s chrome and was corroded.
Having read a post about nickel plating it was time to try for myself, it was much easier than I expected although my first attempt failed because I was impatient and used too high a voltage and current.
I cleaned and polished the cap and used a very low voltage the second time but left it in the chemical for about an hour. This was very successful and soon polished to a good finish.
I am now looking for other things to plate on the car, the windscreen frame being one example which I will consider when I replace the windscreen glass this winter.
