I bought a home plating kit from Caswell Plating called Copy Cad.
It's a Zinc/Cadmium Electroplating kit. It works pretty good. Next, I will dip them in yellow chromate to duplicate the factory yellow/iradescent finish on the parts. http://www.caswellplating.com Attached image(s)

Karl, Great looking results. Your car is going to be really nice.
Does the home cad plating process add enough material to affect the fit of nut and bolt threads? I know most nut and bolt hardware ia originally cad plated but wonder if there is any difference in the process. Also, in a previous post where the writer showed his beatiful cad plated hardware, some one posted concerning embrittlement of metal due to cad plating. Is this still a problem with the home process?
