Still looking for a place to send my hardware for plating. SLC looks to be the nearest place with a choice of decent services. Duris Plating popped up because they mention catering to small jobs but I don't know if they do cad yet. Other contenders are Quality Plating and Blanchard Metals Processing Company. Both of these offer a full range of plating options but seem more geared toward large industrial customers. I'll be contacting them but thought I'd check to see if anyone has a recommendation for a plating service in the area.
Hoping to have all my hardware cleaned up and ready to send in the next couple of weeks. Thanks! |

It's my understanding that Cad plating is a hazardous process, thus in limited supply, whereas yellow zinc can be done at home with a kit.

QUOTE(Chris914n6 @ Nov 27 2018, 09:56 AM)  It's my understanding that Cad plating is a hazardous process, thus in limited supply, whereas yellow zinc can be done at home with a kit. There are still quite a few places that do cad plating and supposedly it provides 2X-3X as much corrosion protection as zinc with yellow chromate. I'm sure it costs more due to additional hazardous materials procedures. I've found at least 2 places in SLC that offer cad because it is still in industry demand. Finding a place that caters to small jobs AND does cad might be a different story though. I looked into home plating and it really didn't pencil out for a one-time project. You can do a part here and there for very little money but to get set up to be able to plate a whole car's worth of hardware is around $300-$400 (that's kit plus recommended power supply). Too bad because home plating suits my uber DIY personality (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I've read there is an art to doing it well though. If Eric doesn't respond here, I'll drop him a PM. |
