Re: Plating question

Palmetto Enterprises... Vernon Owens dells the phosphating kits... [/ QUOTE ] I've been using their Parkerizing solution for years when I restore Muncie/Saginaw OEM shifters. Works quite well. Keep in mind that its a "Hot" process. The solution is added to water and then heated to 185F and maintained there. You then 'cook' the parts in it until most of the bubbling stops. Its not a simple 'cold dip' as in gun blueing. It actualy etches the surface of the metal. The key to long lasting results is to skip the water rinse and apply a high quality gun oil immediately after removing the parts from the bath. If you rinse in water and apply WD-40, you'll have rusted parts in a couple of months. Feel free to ask questions - I've been doing it for over 15 years. Palmetto Enterprises. (864)246-3836 for the Zinc Phosphate solution.
