Been waiting for a proper plating video to come out for years now! Think the community will enjoy ''how to'' videos as well

@RRCRestoration 4 месяца назад

Sorry about the wait but you know how it is, I finally found a bit of spare time to get it done :)

@@RRCRestoration Don't be sorry, this was great! Your content is amazing, and I would be happy to see more how to footage if you choose to! Thank you!

@Mr.Bearded.Mechanic 4 месяца назад

Some additional info for zinc plating/galvanizing: Cromium VI is obsolete on passivated solution because it is carcinogenic. Yellow usually contains chromium VI, so Blue/irredescent or clear thick passivation is the way. 10.9, 12.9 bolts (1000 MPa tensile strength or higher and or 320 HV or 32 HRC hardness) should not be zinc plated because of the Hydrogen embrittlement chance is exponentially higher (there are some solutions, like heating the part to remove the majority of the H) This embrittlement means corrosion alongside of the crystal borders and it can cause cracks For this strength/hardness parts/bolts zinc flake coating is the solution. For example KTM uses lots of 10.9, 12.9 bolts and all of them are zick flake coated. It is a satin/matt coating with good anti corrosion properties (better than electroplating) At my work we have to take attention to this so I just want to share to you guys. Thanks for the detailed video!✌🏻

@David40S 4 месяца назад

I would agree completely with your comments on the carcinogenicity of Chromium VI salts - contact with these should be avoided at all costs, particularly if a safer alternative is available. Various EU directives from the early 2000s onwards have restricted or eliminated the use of Cr VI, mercury and other nasties in car production, to protect the environment and public health. I can't comment on strength and hardness.

That media blasted bolt is *chef's kiss*. I've been toying with electroplating and electrolytic rust removal for some time now. It's very rewarding, effective, and fun. Plus it's pretty cheap to do.

@stepheno1870 4 месяца назад

Thank you for this, a lot of what customers don’t know about plating(Zinc/caroming etc) is, it’s really all about the quality of polishing of parts prior to giving them to the person plating. I was a polisher for 6 months and used sanding wheels/polishing mops etc. I processed a lot of car/bike etc parts and it’s a lot of graft, trust me

@RRCRestoration 4 месяца назад

I've a lot of respect for you guys that do the polishing its a very hard job. In many ways its like my trade of painting the painting itself is the easy part its all the prep work before it that's most important.

@jean-marcheu7428 4 месяца назад

@Imisgarage 4 месяца назад

OMG if you knew for how long I've been waiting for this video from you!!! Thank youuuu!!! One day it would be also good if you could teach us some painting tutorial, like how to prepare the surface, how to use filler, what type of paint you use, how to paint, how to put on clear coat, if you mess up any of the steps how to correct it (if it's even possible or you need to restart it, or somehow remove the orange skin etc.) and things like that. I would even pay for an online course from you for these things.

Hi, you calculate the surface area in this case square inches and then plate them at .1A per square inch.

I have exactly the same kit as you and been plating for several months now on my BMW Z3 project, all underside bolts zinc plated.
