The model must be clean as clean as a pin. You can strip a prior finish. But
the end result must be a part to plate that has no fingerprints, dust, oil,
or sanding marks. Otherwise, it will be forever preserved for posterity. An
undecorated shell or part is the best.
If you have an unpainted shell washed in Dawn (rinsed in distilled water if
you have bad water) you will be fine. Even water marks will be plated in
detail. Handle with gloves after washing.
The plater airbrushes a very fine coat of an electrically conductive lacquer
on the shell. It is so fine that it will cover a fingerprint without
destroying it.
Re: Alclad II. I would agree with comments to use Floquil Crystal Cote or
Future Floor Coating as an intermediate barrier and will protect the metal
finish. Neither will affect plastic or the Alclad
