Getting into chrome dipping

Hi,

I am seeking info about chrome plating and how to get started with equipment. Where I live there is a strong demand for dipping rims and other car parts.

Mike,

I don't want to discourage you..but the 1st place I'd start would be your local DEQ office, and your local POTW to find out the permitting requirements. Take a good look at all the rules/regulations you will have to abide by. If that leaves you undaunted, I'm sure there are plenty of books on this web-site that will help get you started, and give you a basic understanding of the process.
