I started with the DIY, don’t regre it as it got me interested and educated on the process. Results were ok, couldn’t get nice shiny parts without mechanical polishing. Ended up doing the Caswell thing. I use their zinc solution, brightener plus yellow, blue and black chromate. Results are excellent and on par with items I had professionally done. If your going to strip a car and have a tonne of parts plated, go to a plating shop. If you work on your car piecemeal at a time, buy a kit it will save you a fortune. The problem with the platers for small batches is they have a minimum load fee.
