Zinc Plating Shop Recomendation

[mike16]

you can do it at home, vendors in the Shotgun news sell the kits to do all kinds of plating


also there are numerous editions of the Henley's fortune in a formula book out there and in it they also describe explain how to do coatings/plating

I should have shipped mine to them, I got hosed on mine going with someone else, paid way to much.

That hardware is real nice ghalperin. At the time I'm a slave to the original hardware, but yeah, those are super.

Last week I got all my parts back from Arrow Plating. I've been busy putting my truck together. They did a great job. I only had on minor issue, I had them plate my rusty radiator mounts and the bead blasting killed them. It was my own fault, I know that you shouldn't bead blast rusty sheet metal, if you don't want the pits to be craters. I could post a photo, but it just looks like new shiny nuts and bolts.

That's a relief to hear the report card on Arrow Plating's work. Even though they have been fantastic for me for years, when I recommended them and you spent some real coin using them I was fingers crossed that everything turned out up to your standards. It's a shame folks can't go there in person. They are real nice folks.

Thanks again for the recommendation.
Although not a closeup, here are the U-bolts, washers and nuts, spring cups and the diff cover bolts. Plated hardware really help it look finished.
