Excellent feedback 2152hg, thanks for sharing your experience.
My project is an old Luger that had been nickel plated, but has a few flaking/peeling spots. I was thinking of using the Caswell system to re-plate the damaged areas.
Those areas are already worn nice and smooth, so no issues with the underlying metal finish. My only concern is that plating over the edges of the existing nickel will create some unevenness at those edges, but hopefully I can even it out fix that with the buffing out process. Or maybe I should smooth those edges down with a super fine needle file first?
Here's a picture of the Luger in question...
