So as I'm pondering the possibility's here... I'll think out loud... when I ordered my supply's I picked up some nickel silver powder along with some bronze powder... with these powders you can cold cast (in which you mix the powder in with your plastic) which produces a metallic (yet really plastic) finish or you can coat the mold prior to casting with it which produces a kinda metalic powder coat... neither look all that great. HOWEVER! I know there is a process in which you can use powders like this for electroplating (kinda sorta like chrome plating) but I haven't got a clue how to do it. I know you probably need a powder coat... and some chemicals... and electricity... but really thats about all I know... Does anyone here have any knowledge of chrome or electroplating (I kinda doubt chrome plating would be in the picture being that the equipment costs A LOT plus you have to get the EPA envolved and all that) but electroplating seems feasable and might look really cool.... any ideas?
