Need to get yellow and clear zinc plating done. My Texas connections do not want to do small stuff. Have a pot load of nuts, bolts so barrel plating would work for them. Any leads would be helpful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

There was one guy locally here I checked, he finally retired. Woulda been a mail off thing, but know how you feel. Platers in general are getting hard to find.

Check out https://caswellplating.com/electroplating-a...ating-kits.html if you want to do it yourself. I have done this with decent results.

I’ve sent things to Dickey Metal Finishing in Selmer Tn a couple times. Decent turn around and they didn’t lose anything. Color between batches wasn’t consistent.

I am very happy with the work done by FPS in Kenosha, WI (www.fpswi.com). The did small batches for me in both yellow and silver zinc.

AFT does a lot of work for the company I'm with. Not sure about the mins or if the will do small jobs. We deal with large volume fasteners jobs. Did business with Southwest many years ago. |
