kfxguy · 12-12-2011, 10:08 AM

Well I'm about to pull the trigger and get one of these kits. I have lots of hardware, nuts, bolts etc I want to plate and then polish. Anyone have any experience with this? Here's the kit Electroplating System Tin Zinc - Tin Electroplating System Kit - Zinc Plating Polish

Well I ordered it. I ordered the brush kit too. I'll use that to do the front sprocket shaft. You don't have to dip it when you use the brush. I hope this works, I have lots of things to plate.

When you get familiar with the system do you think you could to do shock shafts?, because I need my Elka's redone.

It's not as hard wearing or as smooth as chrome. You could do the body, but not the shaft.
