Is nickel-chrome finish cost prohibitive for lead lures

I am a small manufacturer of fishing lures. I would like to know if a nickel-chrome finish is possible for application on lead, and is it too cost prohibitive. The part in question is 1 3/9 oz in weight and has round attachment loops(steel wire) on each end which coould be readily used for hanging on a fixture during the process. Any info will be appreciated.

Only your customers (your market) can say if it will be cost prohibitive. We can't. But fishing items can and are routinely nickel plated by the millions. G. Marrufo-Mexico
