I want door handles, bumpers, headlight and tailight surrounds, as well as a few other chrome bits from my LJ done. Price doesnt really matter so long as i get an awesome job....

Probably think about door scuff plates, inside door locks, chrome around windows, etc etc.
Perhaps some HD parts while im going

I've just finished restoring my car and had a HEAP of gear done through them, i even got to the kingswood for bits for the wifes car when i get around to it. I had two big boxes for gold & silver zinc , which had a pair of hinges ,master cyl cap & clip, upper control arm pivot, lower control arm radius rod & ALL of the front and rear end of a LJ factory bolts plus other sh!t
How much do i hear for this?............ was quoted $ 88 incl but because i was pushing for a deadline hows about $ 100 !
I remember paying alot more for a smaller amount from pine rivers electroplating.
I even had my genuine "dotloc's" re-zinced NONE missing !

just answered my own question ! Apparently there are only 4 places in brisbane that still do zinc plating..
Metalart Co.Pty.Ltd.

Okay so finally got the lid back. Got a call 5 days after i dropped it there to tell me they had mixed mine up with another and didnt know which was which. So i took the master cylinder down there as the other one was about 20mm shorter....turns out they had chromed mine instead of zincing it... Called him today to see where it was at. "ohh yeah its ready" so off i go again and picked it up. Shit job, to me it looks like chrome still, very shiny. I questioned that and he tells me its because its polished as well, which apparently i requested. Unhappily i paid him the reduced cost of $20.
Now I have one question for anyone who knows anything about plating. On the underside of the cap where the plating has gone, its pealing a bit, which i wont see anyway, but underneath it is a copper colour ?? Is copper used in zinc or chrome plating ?
In conclusion Metalart gets a big thumbs down...
