To silver plastic, glass, ceramic and other non-porous materials, this kit contains everything you require. If you want to silver porous parts like leather, plants, flowers etc, then you need to make the parts hard and non-porous first. Caswell Sealer will do this, as will any laquer based paint.

After silvering with this kit, parts can be plated with nickel or copper, then other metals as desired. You must tank plate them. Brush plating/Plug N Plate kits are not recommended, as the silver layer is thin and will be removed by the brush.
