    67 MC lid plating

    does anyone know of a home plating kit that will give you that
    yellow dichromate or gold Iridite plating . I have removed all the rust and the original plating went with it.

    Craig,

    The home plating system I use is Caswell Copy Cad (actually zinc) with a yellow chromate dip.

    Here's some M/C caps from a post below, which were done a few years ago:




    These were first zinc plated to a bright finish, then dipped into a yellow chromate solution. They were then hit with my wife's hair dryer while drying to bring out the reds and greens. For just bright gold like the repros, just let them dry slowly.

    Google "caswellplating" and you can buy a kit online. It is a litttle pricey to get into, with a power supply, kit and accessories, and a ventilated corner of your garage. Also a lot of trial and error at first.

    If you are interested, they sell a plating manual separately, and I would advise getting the manual first so you know what you are getting into.

    A little pricey for just a M/C cap, but if you also want to do other parts and have fun, go for it.
