Chaps and chapettes, I'm keen to do some of my own anodizing/plating. Thinking of doing the fork tubes a nicer shade of gold and the yokes black, that kind of thing :) I've been researching ont tinterweb and it looks pretty easy really, and theirs kits for 60-100 quidish on egay.
Anyone done any and can give us a few pointers :P

Cheers.

Yep current control is the all important thing as is cleanliness and preparation of whatever you`re trying to plate. :wink:
