Zinc Plating???

Hey guys... just wondering what shops are out there that do Zinc plating. I will not be going back to the place i was using as i had a very bad experience with them recently so im in the hunt for a reputable shop i can send my hard wear too. Who is everyone using on their restorations???

I highly recommend Steve Gregori in Calif. www.brakebooster.com It was expensive shipping to Calif from Fla. so I switched to local Fla. plating company. Ah, wrong move. They lost rare parts, poor gray phosp. plating, etc. Went back to Steve. He never lost any of my parts and plating was out standing! Very honest guy to boot. He takes your parts to plating company and accounts for them after work is done to insure parts are done properly and accounted for.


Plus he does outstanding rebuild and plating of GM power brake booster. He has some that are date coded.


He is not cheap or the most expensive. The old saying you get what you pay for.

I had Steve do my booster and he did a great job but for smaller parts try Sparky.
