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)

Could you show more about the equipments and tell how you do that. Lawrence´s powder coating show was excellent. Could you do something like that too. I am sure there is many like me who dont know anything about plating, but sure would like to know more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |
