Re: cad plating bolts
Donald, If I were to attempt to use that kit on my FI restorations I would have to quit. I bought one many years ago and had the same problem. If you use a wire brush to remove the chalk marks you don't achive an original appearance.
"OO" steel wool is fairly course. But if you use "OOOO" then the cad will be shiny.
Sounds like you might be having a "current" problem. It's not easy to cad plate on your own. It's not even that easy for a pro to do it in the big shops. They have their problems also.
Now if you just glass beaded the parts then you can expect an extremely flat chalky appearance.
Cad plating is only as good as the preparation. If a guy glass beads then he must follow up with a fine wire brush on a wheel. Or use Skat Blast as it gives a pretty nice apearance.
I would give you the name of my plater but I don't do that anymore because of he gets any slower I will have to use cry lawn.
I have been waiting almost two months for some FI plating. Course the holiday screwed things up. JD
