Post subject:  Frivalous bit of Bling or my first attempt at Electroplating
Wanted something to practice a bit of electroplating so thought the cover strip on the Starter Motor was a good candidate

Image

I had wired brushed about a month ago but surface rust was showing up again.

Image

Gave it another go on the wire wheel then cleaned it with Prepsol. - left the inside to compare.

This is the Setup with a Lab Bench Supply

Image

Current was eventually set at 500mA for 1 hour

Image

The finished artical - not as even as I hoped but good enough - a few 'golden' streaks and some dull patches otherwise it appears to be evenly coated.

Image

And in place on the Starter Motor.
