If you are still serious then I would call in a couple of commercial equipment reps and let them analyze your requirements and explain what you have to do.

I'm just gathering info at this point. No where near ready to start calling vendors.
Given the needed knowledge and the waste disposal issues and Hazmat requirements, spend your time looking for a reliable plating shop even if you have to ship parts.
Unless you enjoyed playing with your toy chemistry set when you were a kid, save yourself a ton of gItrief and find another hobby! Good luck!
This would be easier in most every way. I'm currently shipping the parts to Connecticut so no problem with shipping. The problem is that for a manufacturing operation, even a very small one as I am, having to depend on an outside vendor for such a critical part of the process, even under ideal conditions, isn't good.
It's my understanding that the hazmat issues with sulfuric acid anodizing are not that great. Still not sure what that means.
