Plating onto Carbon

I am trying to find information on plating of chromium (also copper and nickel) onto carbon. The carbon is either in the form of a powder, or a film held together by a polymer. Any information or insight on this would be much appreciated.

Are you looking for decorative finish or engineering finish? If nothing else works, I would suggest a vacuum metallizing method.

Mr. Braun:

Our FAQ about plating onto organic materials may get you started.
