   Okay, time to liven up this group.

   Has anybody out there ever done any sucessful metal-plating, or
tried and failed?  If so, how did you do it, and/or what didn't work?

   I tried an electroplating kit I got from J.C. Whitney.  It didn't
work very well - not sure whether it was me or the kit.

   I'm looking for suggestions and/or sources.  I could always ship my
stuff out to be professionally done (a certain shop in Pittsburgh does
nice work), but I'd really like to be able to do it myself.
