Who did you use? Can you give us the contact info? Is there something they do to moving parts to keep them from sticking together in the plating process?

I want to have this done, just need to know who, how etc!

Thanks

I'm using a local plating company for the clear zinc (shown above) and black phosphate (OEM finish on many bolts, door striker plates, etc.): Kaehr: http://www.kaehr.com/

What you want to avoid are tightly affixed parts (like the threads on a tower clamp screw) as the tight space may preclude deposition. Other than that, loose fitting but joined pieces (like the struts) plate fine.

Prices vary and places typically have a minimum order. I'd search for a local plating company before shipping out though other members have used Kaehr and have been happy.
