Review: Good product - Excellent worked great Review: Electroplating is much more difficult than the YouTube videos suggest ... - Electroplating is much more difficult than the YouTube videos suggest. I can not really rate this product because I have never tried another brand. All this stuff is chemicals and I suspect most brands are comparable. Just be prepared for failures as plating metal takes a lot of practice. ## Features - Plates Nickel Over Steel, Copper, Brass, Bronze & Tin.

Is this kit suitable for small antique motorcycle parts?** A: You can use a battery charger, but you need to build in a way to regulate the current. The kit will plate directly over steel, iron, copper, brass. Other metals require a priming layer of a different metal. **Q: What kind of primer to do a top slide on a gun? Will it just need to be sand blasted and polished to be nickle plated?** A: Assuming it's steel, blast it, polish it, degrease it, plate it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by C***A on July 15, 2019* Excellent worked great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Electroplating is much more difficult than the YouTube videos suggest ... *by M***R on January 26, 2017* Electroplating is much more difficult than the YouTube videos suggest.

Only accept PayPal online.. which I don't have, So I called to placed and order on Aug 26,2023. $300+ order.. guy takes my order no problem.. 2 weeks go by and no product or correspondence from Caswell, no confirmation, no tracking number.. So I call them to find out what's the hold up.. I call on a Friday during business hours... get a recording saying they are closed and to leave a message.. when message comes on it wont let you leave a message and says to call back again.. I check my bank records and coincidentally they charge is just posting to my account over 2 weeks after the order.. what a hassle!! so if I do get my order it will be about a month after order was placed.. Wont be ordering from Caswell again! ## Frequently Bought Together - Nickel Electroplating Kit - 1.5 Gallon Size - WEP 605D-III DC Variable Power Supply 60.00V 5.000A High Precision Bench Lab Power Supply with Alligator Clips for anodizing kit, Electroplating, arduino, breadboard --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/21003237-nickel-electroplating-kit-1-5-gallon-size](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/21003237-nickel-electroplating-kit-1-5-gallon-size) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
