In the end I decided to do the nickel plating myself. Although the quote to get it done professionally was slightly cheaper than buying the kit, I though it would be more fun to try it myself. It was fairly straightforward to do - all the chemicals were provided in the kit, and it was just a matter of adding the correct quantity of distilled water and firing up the battery charger.
The final product was nice and shiny and didn't even need much of a polish. The plating solution should keep indefinitely, so I.m sure that I will be doing this again to make custom tailpieces,
