Electroplating

[Gordon]

Trying to see if there is a way I could improve the finishing durability for "brass shell casings" and perhaps "speciality clips".

Found a vendor (www.micromark.com) selling a small parts electroplating system - catalog #83082 - nickel/#83083 - #83085 24k gold - - (cost range from $35 - $50).



Don't know beans about the process or the vendor - anyone out there have some experience or comments about this ? or how it compares to Powder coating ?

Thanks as always.

I powdercoat brass casings and lead bullets used in making bullet/casing pens. If you already have an air compressor, powdeercoating can be started for $59.95 for the powdercoaing system and the color of powders is endless. I use clear, of course.
