After "de-rusting" and or de-corrosion-ing, has anyone ever experimented
with brush electroplating a chassis?  I would imagine that nickel would
be a good choice for a dull silver color.  I picked up some supplies for
this from AES - brass and nickel solution plus a brush or two.  I figured
on using it to restore small parts, but also to touch up a chassis or
two.  Haven't tried it yet.
