New Shop Skill - Zinc Plating
I normally do plating in batches and take them to place in 5 gal buckets. Its not that I dont appreciated the place I go to, but its kinda a pain. Throughout a restoration it always seems that I miss something or find I need to buy some new hardware etc.
I recently took the plunge on a Caswell plating kit. Im honestly blown away how I can get better results with an at home plating kit. First picture is a set of valve cover washers bare stainless. Second picture is the plating bath. Third picture is after the parts are zinc plated which can look like cadmium plated. 4th picture is after blue chromate is applied, which is how my bolts and hardware for the whole care get processed. I even did a holley carb body the other day. Just phenomenal results. For anyone on the fence, give it a try. Just note Caswell is not quick with there shipping, so its not out of the ordinary to wait even a few months.
