    Impressive durability after plating
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    What kinds of metal can be used. If left in the solution longer, will coating become thicker or is it better to dip several times? What is the shelf life of the solution as mixed? Thanks.
