Tank Versus Brush Plating

Hello To All,
I am interested in repairing silver plate as a substrate for lead indium. I am applying to steel bearings. I need a thickness of .0005 over a 2 sq in. area. I would also like to apply thicker amounts for other applications involving more sq. in. The set up does not need to be mobile. I am somewhat familiar with electroplating, I currently operate the following tanks. A 60 gallon Tin tank, 15 gal. Lead tank and a 7 gal Indium tank. Any input or opinions are greatly appreciated.
