Can you chrome wood




















Thank you, very much. Hi Leonardo. You haven't fully explained your needs yet. Virtually anything can be plated with anything, but whether that plating will meet your needs is something no one can tell you until we understand your needs.

For example, when you say "plated", do you imply that it must actually be electroplated, or will any application method suffice? If you're just looking for a decorative effect and interior exposure, very good "chrome-like" paints are now available, and would probably be my first choice. But if you actually need real electroplating, is it industrial hard chrome for a severe wear situation, or is it decorative nickel-chrome plating?

If decorative, does it really have to be chrome instead of nickel plated? Please tell us what kind of component it is, why you want it to be chromed and what you are trying to do, so that we can better help you.

Good luck! The wood must first be painted with a conductive paint, and then copper plated using acid copper. You can then plate the part with bright nickel followed by chromium, or with chromium over the copper. Why would you want to do this? The piece of wood should be sealed with an epoxy paint. Then a conductive paint applied.

Since the wood is light you will have to figure out a way to weight it down and also make contact. Then the piece would have to be copper plated very heavy. It has a much faster turnaround time since you do not have to send the piece off for traditional chrome plating.

Unlike spray paint, PChrome is much more durable and does not fade or flake. You can also use it on very large pieces that you would not be able to chrome plate.

Wipe down the chrome with a wet rag to make sure all the dust from sanding has been removed, then thoroughly dry the spots to be filled. Apply the metal filler per manufacturer instructions. Typically, this involves wearing work gloves or latex gloves for protection, simply squeezing some filler into the spot that needs it, and spreading the filler out either with your latex-gloved fingers or a disposable spatula.

Using a clean rag and a bucket of fresh water, wipe down all of the chrome to remove remaining dust. If the bucket of water gets too dirty, replace with clean water and give your project a final pass with a clean rag.

Protect the floor of your work area from overspray or errant paint drips by laying out some old newspaper. Go ahead and apply a coat of primer to the metal. Choose a rust-inhibiting primer, such as Rust-oleum, from your paint store or home improvement center—unless you plan to paint a faucet.

Allow the primer to dry thoroughly.
