Zinc or other bright platting:
Looking to see if someone does or knows of a company that will do a small batch of bolts and hardware for a small project I have. Not car related. (Motorcycle)
If you do this please contact me. Willing to pay for a good job. I can prep the bolts and hardware to your specs.
If you know of any company that does this. Let me know the name and location.
Help a brother out for a kewl project!

They used to do small batches. They've done three batches for me. The last batch I had them do was was probably 4 years ago. You'll just have to call and ask. No special contact, I just called and talked to whoever answered the phone. They did all the fasteners for my Challenger and Dart. I also had them do my kickdown linkages, coil bracket exc.(same price as their standard barrel plating charge)
They were extremely reasonable on price. I stripped all my fasteners myself. I gave Key City perfectly clean parts to start with.
I initially had my Dart fasteners done at a place local to me.(Cedar Rapids) They were more expensive AND the silver zinc parts came out with a yellow tint. They said that their solution was different and that it would withstand a longer salt spray.(that's why the color was off) I didn't like the color so I had Key City run them through a second time.

I went through this same dilemma about two years ago. Eventually I found a place here in St. Louis that does it. I've had them do two small batches for me and it all came out nice. https://microfinishco.com/

At Moparts, the concensus is there is no consensus.

Eric Manual (3404) is a very good friend of mine, he is local and has done all my plating for years. He is a huge MOPAR guy, he hand does all my fasteners, latches and anything else I have him do. He was one of the original platter's for the MOPAR hobby for years, now he's all grow up and runs the plating company he's been at for years. He does all the side jobs after hours on his own time. Here is the company he runs www.elyriaplating.com, ask for Eric (Da man).
