There are plating jobshops in Puerto Rico who can offer this service to you, Edgar. If you insist on doing it yourself, though, the equipment will cost a lot more than your bike. Please start with a few of the books from our "must have" booklist if you want to learn some of the basic things involved in nickel plating. Good luck.
