Zinc Plating??

[JOHN4]

Hi,
I am wanting to do my own zinc plating as I restore old motorcycles in my spare time,and I like the look of zinc plating on the small parts(engine mounts e.t.c)

I was wondering if anybody knew the chemicals required to zinc plate??

I have the power source all figured out,but am not to certain on the chemical aspect of it...

Any help is appreciated

Cheers,
John

Hey John, I'm a fan of the late John Britten's work and now Burt Munroe as well since I saw the movie "Worlds Fastest Indian". I also like the Kiwi attitude that we can do anything and we can do it in our back yard. Take care.
