Hi, Manish. Please advise if you are sure that you need true nickel-chrome plating on your bakelite, as opposed to chrome-like paint. Our FAQ, "Introduction to Chrome Plating" may be useful. If you require true nickel-chrome plating, what are the exposure conditions and expectations, because bakelite does not offer the etchability and consequnet good adhesion of ABS.
