Chrome and Gold Dipping as Business

I am interested in getting into chrome & gold dipping for the import/domestic custom vehicle industry. I've been looking around the website and am not quite sure where I can look for information on how to start up a business in the field. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ms. Hollister,
Your question is not implicitly invalid, but 99 percent of the people who ask it have in their minds that electroplating is a "craft" type project, whereas in reality it is an industrialization project requiring substantial capital expenditure (in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for a fairly small installation) and some years of experience. Still interested?
