Biggest things I've learned is - don't use anything with silicone in it - the chrome plate can't stick. And prime, sand, sand and sand... has to be SMOOTH or the chrome will show the flaws. AH - and also you'll want to mount a "flair" of some type on the inside of each part... have to have something to clamp to / hold the part by so the "finished surfaces" can all get a full coat of chrome.

I'm not sure what the cost will be with GoldCylon's run (bulk does get you a better price) - however - get your checkbook ready, chrome is not a cheap item.
Serious Cylon need only apply :) [But the LOOK is unbeatable, and to me - I'm doing all this other work on the build, why settle for paint]

One of my long term costuming goals is to save up enough money to get my cylon chromed.
