I accidentally powder-coated some parts that needed to be zinc plated, namely the shock tower attachment hardware and the rear bearing cover, and I reached out to Caswell about their kit, but, I was also thinking of just getting their Yellow Chromate and attempting a zinc plating in my garage. I saw some videos on it and their parts turned out pretty good for what they are needed for, so I wanted to ask if any of you have zinc-plated these in their garage. What did you do? Would you do this again?
I have sandblasted all the powder coating off and I kinda want to try this process out. Seeking the 914World Belssing to mess up my car. Just kidding someone has already removed the gas engine anyways. I think I can do this. These are a few of the parts that I know need Zinc. What other parts need the Yellowing? My black and white manual isn't telling me... Frances and Dad Attached thumbnail(s)
