I toyed with the idea of doing my own electroplate when I started the KR1s but put myself off looking at kits on line.I have had two batches off stuff done,the first came back mint but the last set is a mixture of good,not so good and crap I will have more to do so I might have a punt on one of those

Just done some myself, first time I've tried it & I have to admit that its a bit hit & miss but experience should improve the results.
It is easy to use, but the key really is down to prep.
I really would recommend a bit of practise on something not important before diving in with bits you want to use
Still, the plating does come off again quite easy

Got me frame and bits today can start to assemble now, but the road is still very long.
