Process:
Start by degreasing and cleaning the parts you want to plate. If they are rusty, you will need to remove that rust one way or another. I also chose to shine the pieces by using a wire wheel.
Once the part is ready, degrease it in the supplied degreaser and rinse with water. Then dip the part in the dry acid solution for 10 to 20 seconds, then back into the water before drying and hanging on the metal rod spanning across the main playing tank.
Now it's time to hook up the positive to the wire around the bucket and the negative to the metal bar that holds the pieces. Turn on the power supply and select the appropriate amount of amps. If you are using a battery, it can be a bit of a guessing game.
Once the part is suffiencelty plates, bring it out and rinse in the water. Dry it as best you can and dip it in the passivate tanks. 20-40 seconds for gold/yellow and 20-30 seconds for silver/blue. Once evenly covered, remove from the tank, rinse with water and let it dry for at least 48 hours.
