Getting ready to send a batch of hardware to Parker Metal Finishing in Greensboro North Carolina for clear zinc plating. Does anybody have any "8" Hex bolts 6 x12 and 6 x 20 available for sale.
You can get small zinc plating kits relatively inexpensively and do them yourself. I've done it. It's kind of fun.

Pick up a small zinc plating kit. It's not that hard to do them yourself. I thought it was fun and interesting.
For that whole box of parts, it cost me all of $50 cash to get it all plated and the 2 fork collars chromed. For that kind of money it ain't worth my time to mess around with pails, electrodes and cathodes and chemicals! I will leave it up to the people that do it everyday for a living. Lol. Not to mention I had it back in 2 days. 50 bucks spent is hard to beat. I'm a naturally curious guy, so I'm sure doing it myself would certainly entertain my tiny little brain, and it would be neat to try, but I'm ok for now with prepping the hardware at home and sending it out to be done. Simple simple you know.
