Is that a kit you buy Serge?

That looks real good, much better than the job Peter does! ;)

Yes, it's a kit.

Company called Jane Kits.  Sydney based.  Good stuff!

Hey Serge - I'm dragging this thread back up from the depths...

How have you found the zinc plating kit in the long-term, and have the plated parts lasted well?

Yep, all holding up very well.

Keep in mind that the zinc coating is 'sacraficial' which is to say that it meant to break down over time, to protect the base metal.

Haven't had much joy with gold passification (coloring). Tends to rub off a bit, but I don't do much with that.

If you ask a stupid question you are a fool for a second. If you don't ask any questions then you are a fool forever!!
