The item biggest I've tried to plate is the brass bezel on a Philco Mystery Control - about 6" in diameter. It came out a little uneven so I think that's pushing the limit of the Caswell kit.
I'd try a 7" orbital buffer with a couple of cotton bonnets on the pad. It allows a slow and easy buff on the bakelite without cutting too fast.
