THe company I work for supplies equipment to the plating and anodizing plants. Be aware that plating and anodizing is a very caustic operation. There are many enviromental concerns that has caused most of your smaller mom and pop operations to close. You cant just throw the solutins down the drain. You will proably find that getting rid of the used solutions is more costly than buying them. Just find a local anodizer or plater and he can do these very small runs for you and he generally knows what he is doing
