Cr plating solution

I am doing experiment about electroplating. Now I am going to plate Cr. Would someone provide Cr plating solution for me? Thank you!

Chrome is a regulated material, cradle to the grave. Virtually no one with their head screwed on correctly is going to give any to a student because he/she (the giver) would have a serious liability problem.
That said, you will have a very serious disposal problem. Think big fine and/or jail if caught.

Hi. The 'big fine' would apply to the plating company that gave away the solution. Many schools, maybe most, are exempt from such worries because they are not an industrial business. I even know one major university that operates a very substantial anodizing shop, doing development work for the military, that has no rules (except internal rules) about the waste they generate.
