Are the rods the steel?

@krazyjuicedan

Both the anode and cathode are stainless steel

[evanm1978]

can you nickel plate straight onto an old part with bad chrome on it then rechrome it again or does it all need to be removed first.

I have old car door handles that i want to coat in copper then nickel and finally chrome but not sure how to go about it, any advice.

@evanm1978

No, you need to get all of the old chrome off first. Get back to the base metal. Try de-plating the part (ie making the part the anode insted of the cathode)

will this work on aluminium? what about ceramics(epoxy)?

[JimmyV2009]

Yes, you can plate aluminium with nickel, but you will need to first plate the with copper, or zinc (or treat it with Zincate)

[Zarbong]

Did you ever use a teflon coated stir bar and a magnetic stir plate? This might help with the coating distribution.
