Ended up upgrading the power supply to the 40A and getting an extra 10l kit to plate larger parts. The 5A power supply was OK for small strings of nuts and bolts - but didn’t have enough oomph for larger parts (headlight bucket mounts for example). Get yourself some of the Jane clean too - works wonders stripping old plating off bolts without the nastyness of hydrochloric acid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been looking at the copper forming kit (this is how i found this forum/your post), but didn't think it would get through customs.

tomble Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Jane kits ships to NZ and sells gold bright chromate (among others). You just need to contact them directly w/ address as they have to get the shipping quote manually. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eyes lit up when you posted those pics on your build thread, all we needed was someone to see if shipping would work, thanks for doing the honours!

Shipping was totally painless, nobody confiscated my cocaine. Now I'm just trying to actually nail down the plating itself lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
