Zinc plating kit

john johnson · 09-07-14, 09:12 AM

Has anyone got and used one of the zinc plating kits off e bay ? I have bought another car which was restored a couple of years back and the plating has gone off due to suspect dotting and will be getting back up to speed over winter

I haven't personally, but have you seen this thread on detailing world? Shows they're quite good bits of kit!

I've been reading that thread funnily enough and I guy was collecting some bits kast night and he had built his own tank in the end to do his own , if eliminates the risk of em losing bits too which does happen at the platers

It's the gold (ish) coating, dipped straight after the zinc, it comes with the larger kit, not sure I know what you mean fake frost paint

Lots of brackets, banjo's, bolts were this colour

Whoever gets a kit first i will be sending a box full of parts to be done to them

Only kidding this is quite interesting, may have to look into getting one.
