questions for you guys that have had work done zinc and chromate plating on bolts, latches ect. how much did you pay? just curious as to what going rates are. Not looking for somebody to rebuild anything just a general cost for hardware plating. black chromate on bolts, latches ect as well as yellow chromate and clear/blue. not Chrome plating.
just looking for info on what you guys spent to have yours done and how long ago.
thanks in advance.
 
I use a gentleman out of OH that Ulf (65dartcharger) recommended to me. This is some of the stuff I’ve had done. What I do is send a bunch of like stuff (all cad, black phosphate, gold anodized, etc) to him at one time. There are more specific pics of particular orders on my wagon thread but I can say I’ve never paid more than maybe $70 for an order


All this black phosphate was in one order.

I just received today this stuff for my wagon that I sent him late last week. The order consisted of a specialized tailgate hinge and the special shouldered bolt for it, L & R pillar strike receivers with the 2 shims per plate, the 6 retaining bolts, a couple of AC hose clamps, and a throttle cable clamp and nut - $65 including shipping. I am preparing another order for Cad and black phosphate to go out shortly.

Here is Eric's contact info. Send an email and verify the address because he recently moved and I do not know if this is the old address or the new one.
Price depends on qty and condition of parts plated. I always glass bead all my parts and ship him big batches of stuff at once. I have had bills under $100 and up to $275.Most of my orders are the size of a medium flat rate box packed full. I have had headlight buckets done, brake boosters, brackets and all sorts of hardware.

PLATING Cad -clear or yellow. Zinc in clear,yellow and black. Black zinc phosphate.

You can plate stuff at home with chemicals available from Eastmans, not professional and it really depends on how clean you get them but may work for bolts.
 
I purchased a larger plating system for plating customer stuff. I was just curious as to what everybody was paying. I think my prices will be close to that. I already have some awesome equipment for surface restoration and this is just one more option in my aresenal. I’ll post some of my work soon. I think you will all be impressed with the next level of detail and quality. I am my own worst critic so it’s got to be perfect .
