So how many of us would like to have that "factory" look on some of our parts? I wanted the factory look on some parts but couldn't find a plating shop that would do the yellow zinc chromate plating. I know there are kits that can be purchased but I've found a way that is much less expensive but yields the same results.
After doing some research on the web and finding someone with some knowledge about this process he shared the process with me. I've been working the past several weeks to plate some of my parts for my 72 SSP restoration. I think the process is now producing pretty good results. Take a look and let me know what you think. The photos show a few washers and my wiper motor that I reconditioned myself.
If there is enough interest in this I will share the process with the members of this forum. This is NOT a store purchased process but something I put together with mostly things I already had in the shop. There are a few key ingredients that will need to be purchased online (Ebay is a good source). In total I have about $50 in supplies.
