New to plating? Start simple: clean well, plate at a steady current, and rinse right after. Small, consistent steps give the best finish.
| Problem | Likely Cause | Quick Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Dull / gray finish | Not clean enough or current too low | Re-clean the part and raise the current a little. |
| Burnt / rough edges | Current too high | Lower the current and keep parts farther from the anode. |
| Tiny pits / bubbles | Oil or air on the surface | Wash again, pre-wet the part, add gentle agitation. |
| Peeling | Oxide layer or poor contact | Lightly scuff, clean again, and plate immediately. |
| Uneven coverage | Parts not facing the anode | Rotate the part or reposition anodes for even exposure. |
Prep Is Everything
Clean, degrease, and lightly scuff. Any oil or oxide will dull the finish. Rinse thoroughly before plating.
Dial In Your Current
Start low and increase slowly. Too much current burns the edges; too little looks dull.
Temperature & Agitation
Warm solution and gentle movement improve brightness and coverage. Use a small pump or move the part gently.
Rinse & Protect
Rinse in clean water and dry quickly. A light polish can boost shine without removing much thickness.

FAQ
How fast do orders ship?
Most orders ship out within 1–2 business days. If you need a rush, call or text and we will do our best.
What metals can I plate?
Nickel plates well on steel, copper, brass, and many conductive alloys. Proper cleaning and prep are critical.
Do I need a power supply?
Electroplating solutions require a DC power supply. Electroless nickel does not, but it does require heat.
Can you help me choose?
Yes. Call or text and tell us your part size, metal type, and finish goal.
