zinc plating
Thinking of having all the original bolts, latches, etc. plated. Has anyone got a DIY kit and done themselves or had it done somewhere?

Re: zinc plating
Check out the last page of my build thread. I did one piece so far and will be doing more with the kit I got from eastwood. I think its a tin plating kit if I remember right but may have some zinc in it too.

Spoke to a man named terry that works for industrial coatings in Gastonia NC and his quote was $50 for a 5 gallon bucket of parts. I can't buy the Eastwood kit and do it myself for that!
