I'm debating purchasing a large nickle plating kit and wondering if I were to if I'd be able to sell plating services to try to make some of my money back. Plating is not cheap and sometimes requires prepping via other dips. However, the payoff is HUGE. Nickle plating is SO badass. I'd be able to do metals just as I would powdercoating but it would have to be a piece that could be plated inside and out as it would be dipped...so no valve covers or things like that. Brackets, tubing, etc would be AWESOME. A little light polishing and it'll last forever.
