Home electroplating

[sycor]

I have a few items that I need to electroplate. They are key sized and brass. I'd like to nickel plate them. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive home kit that I can use?

I've used this one and had good results.

That's the one I was looking at the amazon reviews were a little iffy. Glad to hear you had too results. I'll give it a shot.

I've been wondering about the Caswell PNP kits for a while... I need to do some touch ups on a brass plated Mal pistol kit that was very poorly plated, so I might have to finally give them a try.

I've done this on brass with some impressive results. You can get nickel plates for a few dollars on amazon.
