Still looking for a place to send my hardware for plating. SLC looks to be the nearest place with a choice of decent services. Duris Plating popped up because they mention catering to small jobs but I don't know if they do cad yet. Other contenders are Quality Plating and Blanchard Metals Processing Company. Both of these offer a full range of plating options but seem more geared toward large industrial customers. I'll be contacting them but thought I'd check to see if anyone has a recommendation for a plating service in the area.

Hoping to have all my hardware cleaned up and ready to send in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks!

It's my understanding that Cad plating is a hazardous process, thus in limited supply, whereas yellow zinc can be done at home with a kit.

There are still quite a few places that do cad plating and supposedly it provides 2X-3X as much corrosion protection as zinc with yellow chromate. I'm sure it costs more due to additional hazardous materials procedures. I've found at least 2 places in SLC that offer cad because it is still in industry demand. Finding a place that caters to small jobs AND does cad might be a different story though.

I looked into home plating and it really didn't pencil out for a one-time project. You can do a part here and there for very little money but to get set up to be able to plate a whole car's worth of hardware is around $300-$400 (that's kit plus recommended power supply). Too bad because home plating suits my uber DIY personality (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I've read there is an art to doing it well though.

If Eric doesn't respond here, I'll drop him a PM.

Yep, that's the one. PM'd Eric and he recommended them. This was actually the first shop I considered but they look like a big outfit and I wasn't sure they'd do small jobs. Eric said they do. I like that they provide a lot of detail on their site about their finishes and services. Still have a lot of wire brushing/vibration tumbling/blasting to do...

That is simply Outstanding Rob. I gotta get out your way to see it in person. There are a few 911s that I was looking at out that way too and I would love to see my geology thesis area again.....Coal Valley Nevada.

That would be great! I had Mitch Ratelle from SoCal over last weekend. It had rained the night before so The Princess stayed garaged, but it’s great to see you guys from parts unknown!
