Product Description
Black Krome™ Kit
This spectacular product will add style and elegance to many products. Safe to use. Contains no chrome or nickel.
Ideal for vehicle trim, guns, musical instruments, fishing lures, etc.
The system plates within a couple of minutes over a nickel or copper base. To plate over chrome, the existing chrome plate must be removed by stripping with Anodize & Chrome Stripper.
Black Krome™ can be plated by brush plating or by an immersion technique.
Black Krome will plate over Nickel, Copper, Steel, Tin & Lead.
For brush plating, a 4.5 volt power supply and a stainless steel wand is required. Immersion plating requires 0.24 amps per square inch at 3-7V.
For tank (immersion) plating, the solution is best used at 140 deg f, using a stainless steel anode. Because the plate is derived from the solution and not the anode, the solution will need to be replaced periodically.
When plating over nickel, the color will have a metallic smoky black look, whereas over copper, a darker black will be achieved.
The finish should be waxed with Collinite Insulator or Metal Wax, or clearcoated.
2 Gallon Kit Contains
- 1 x 3.5 Gal Tank and Lid
- 2 x Stainless Steel Anode
- 2 Gal Black Krome™ Solution
- Caswell Plating Manual
- Free Technical Support
- NO HEATERS INCLUDED

Super product
I got this kit to do some custom plating for a couple of my projects that I wanted to put a dark shine on. Like the other Caswell kits I have gotten this one arrived quickly, was well packaged, and was very easy to set up and use. For those of us who do home art work or restorations, these Caswell kits have been a huge help to my business. They allow me to do the work as I want, when I want, without the hassle of having to ship parts out and hope they turned out the way I wanted.

Worked Great.
Another fine product from Caswell. I ve been using Caswell's Black Krome kit for years with great success. Just have to make sure your product is 100% clean before plating as the Black Krome must have perfect settings to work properly.
