Ray Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) give Hockley Enterprises a call, reason i say them, is they do the 70s green used on some 70s japanese cars, as well as the usual gold, silver and black, they also do chrome plating, zinc plating for nuts bolts etc is done by the bucket load like everything, if you do some prep work first, the job will be far better, ie, you can just give to them dirty and rusty, they will acid dip, but dont expect it to be rolls royce standard, but if you sand blast it all first, then the job will be far superior Hockley Enterprises Essex Ltd 8 Grainger Road Southend On Sea SS2 5BZ Tel: 01702 614067 Fax: 01702 462163 info@hockleyenterprises.co.uk Edited October 1, 2021 by Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veemax Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 please beware that if you electroplate high tensile fittings they can suffer enbrittlement and will need to baked in an oven after plating, ie : caliper mount bolts can shear after plating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
