Automotive Projects

 

Take a look at some of the automotive projects completed with our products.

Plug N Plate Gold Kit

Thank you for your constant support and additional advice about the gold plating. As you can see the product came out great. I used the Plug -N- Plate system and the Chrome stripper. It took about two hours and a lot of stroking, but it was worth it. I am a high school teacher and the students are going to be amazed.
Sincerely,
Dan Fairman

Nickel Plating Kit

The dome light bezel is the first PERFECT piece I have turned out of the nickel. And just think!!! I owe it all to you and the first kit I bought.

Tin Plating Kit

The first photo is the connnection on -- believe it or not -- a brand new door switch, right out of the box, bought from a dealer today. It looks like it's been sitting around outdoors for a decade. It was the only one he had in stock, and electrical parts aren't returnable in any case.

The next photo is the same switch after 10 seconds in the gritblast box, a little burnishing with a stainless steel "toothbrush", and a few minutes in Caswell Tin.

Most electrical and electronic contacts (as in connectors) are either tin-plated or gold-plated. I recall being told by electrical engineers that tin is actually preferable in some applications and environments, but I don't recall why. I see a lot of gold in electronic stuff (like the contacts on digital camera memory for example) but under-hood connectors, connector pins for trailer lights, etc always seem to be tin-plated. - Don Foreman

Copy Chrome™ Plating

Watson Racing Team Vintage Midget Restoration

A few examples. 2 nuts for rear cover of rear end. 1 bolt for holding together rear wheel bearing assembly.


This is a picture of a Ignitor cover on a MK IV Toyota Supra. I plated this with Copy Chrome™ and this was my second attempt. The first was a failure but it was because of improper preparation on my part. It is so important to follow the manual to the letter and save yourself some work. After I went back and read the manual from cover to cover this was the result of a 20 min plate.

Copy Cad® Plating

This is a Mercedes Boscsh alternator before and after restoration, only the two bearings and the brushes are new. All steel parts: bolts, fan, pulley etc., were plated with Copy Cad® kit and treated with Yellow Chromate from Caswell.
