Plating is very tricky over stainless steel. In order to get a thicker coating one most plate then neutralize then plate again as if this is not done it will crystalize and look horrible. Brush plating is inconsistent. The correct way is to immerse in a heated cyanide based solution with a proper rectifier. Plating for about 90 sec then taking it out and rinsing in distilled water then neutralized in baking soda and repeat. I have done a lot of plating in my days and will tell you the correct chemicals to do this can KILL you. If one is meticulous in their everyday life then go ahead and buy the correct equipment (which we sell) and try it, otherwise leave this to the professionals
