Price will depend on the size of the kit, remember you'll need the trivalent yellow chromate and you'll need to build or buy a rectifier. I built one for about $60. I swear by the versatility once your setup because I can plate a lot or as little as needed, but if you only have one item and never plan to do any other plating it may be easier and cheaper to go to a plating shop. Most have minimum lot runs but you get to drop off and pick up. If you go this route instead of asking for CAD plating you should be able to find several local shops capable of doing bright zinc with yellow chromate. Ask to see samples, this will ensure your happy with the end item. Using zinc rather than CAD will save $$ and like I said, most will never be able to tell the difference.
