[DeTomaso] Plating Rear Camber Brace Bolt

[F&D Terry]

Charles,

Caswell sells a few brush plating kits for about $35 each that plate 
Copy Chrome and Nickel to mention a few. Keep in mind, however, that 
what your surface looks like prior to plating will be about the same 
after a plate is applied. If you want a shiny surface you must first 
polish the base metal. There is a learning curve associated with 
anything and the starting cost for plating will be about $35 for one of 
Caswell's brush plate kits. Eastwoods sells a Tin/Zinc plating kit for 
twice the Caswell kit. The plate can be polished but it will eventually 
tarnish or oxidize. Having been there and done that, your best bet is to 
go to a professional plater as Gary suggests.

>>I have polished up my Al. rear camber brace and now the ZiNi plated bolts look bad.  I do not wish to pay the $75 minimum fee for plating two nuts and the double ended bolt.  Is there some place I can get the chemicals to do a small job?  Any procedural ideas are greatly appreciated.
