I've not attempted home plating, but a fellow I know has done some
bits on his various racecars and such in what I think he called cold
nickel plating. More of a smooth, satiny silver finish compared to
chrome. As I recall though, the chrome plating process involves
a layer of copper as body putty, so to speak, a layer of nickel as
primer, then the chrome. That's the simple version, I may be
wrong.

Annoy your friends - spell racecar backwards.
