Gold cad plating sources

[RPOLS3]

Who is everyone using for doing gold cad plating besides the brake booster rebuilders? I need a pair of hood hinges for our 409 project plated.


Thanks

Norwood I’m sending him my hood latch.

Who is that? I have 2 sets of 69 turn signals to plate.

He’s a member here. I think. I’ll text him. He’s a F body guy in the Chicago area. He does hood latches. They are the phosphate, but the PCs inside are cad. I’ll ask.
I’ll post mine up when I get it done, they are concours.
He also makes a few parts too.

I have 2 sources. One does cad dichromate and the other nzinc.
The cad is a softer/flatter finish and the zinc is shinier.

I asked Woody, here’s his place. Colorado plating.
I sent PCs to booster Dewey when I had my booster done, it was very reasonable to get a few brackets redone.

Thanks all. I found a couple places locally, one is a customer so I might try that first. Lots of commercial fastener industry business here in town and therefore commercial platers too. Will advise.

I dropped off the hinges today at a good customer of ours - will post pics when I receive them back. He does large scale commercial plating - so pretty sure he is not going to be interested in doing the small scale stuff us car guys would need.
