I used the same kit results below, it does take a lot of practice to get it right Current, time and most important clean parts before you zinc plate them!!

Hey i am very impressed with what you have done there

quattrostyle · 24-10-14, 08:18 AM

That does look impressive. Need to get myself a kit me thinks

Excellent results steve!

Had to postpone my trial of this - family commitments this weekend, however I will have time this week at work!

Did you yellow passivate dip the fuel line unions after plating or is that just the plating?

Also, your aluminium bits...how did you clean those?, Ive just bought a soda blasting kit.

Sand blast first then cleaned in patio cleaner then wash under running water
Zinc plate, dip in blue passivate wash then dip in the yellow passivate finally wash with running water.

The Alu is acid dipped
