Ratio mixes for chrome plating ABS

Hi, I'm working for a injection molding company who are looking to incorporate chrome plating. We have had inquiry for chrome plating ABS target wheels which means we do not need a good smooth surface finish. Yet we are having problems trying to locate the ratio for the chemical mixs in all of the processes. Can any body help me to find this information.

The book "Standards & Guidelines for Electroplated Plastics" will prove exceptionally useful to you, Daniel, but it still will not include the formulations of these solutions. You buy these proprietary processes, you don't do the mixing (and in some cases the synthesis) yourself. You go to a supplier and they give you process chemistry for each step. Good luck.
