What do you want to plate? - I can do small stuff at home

Hyrdo pipes, brake lines, and a couple of other stuff in silver zinc
and the hydro brake lines protection plates that run from front to back in the gold zinc like the concourse cars have! :D

I use one in Beenleigh. They are cheap and do good work. I am going there tomorrow so will pick up a card for you. Do zinc and gold zinc (looks like cad plating) for around $75 for an icecream container full. They will roll it for you or if you wire it up will do it this way for same price. Takes some time but definitely worth it. My last set of hydro pipes were done in the mix. They charged me no extra to do them. The skid plates that cover them were galvenised and there is a place at pinkenbar that does them for around $80 the pair.

Bit big for me - although I am trying to work out how to do a grill without having to buy 5 million gallons of plating solution. :roll:
