    Cadium plating

    Can someone recommend a cadium plating service and post some pictures of the finished product?

      I tried the Eastwood cadium paint, looks like silver paint to me.

            Get ahold of Dan Bixbie. I do not have his contact info handy and time to head out the door for work. So no time to dig for it. Rod

              I "FAKED" Cad Plating on the Calipers & misc other parts on a '59 Jaguar Mk-9 & it won FIRST place in a PRESTIGIOUS Jaguar Show. The main trick is using the DULL Alugimum spray (IF you can still buy it??)

                Ask Tom. Seems he got a do it yourself kit and posted on the other site? Someday I am going to order one of those for myself.

                  I just did a search on the other site for many of the pictures I had posted, but the sleezeballs at photobucket have taken them all down.
                  I'll have to see if I have any good pictures on my current computer, otherwise I'll have to take more.
                  I bought the Caswell kit called "Copy-Cad" and it is really a zinc plating kit, but looks similar to some cad.
                  If you have a bunch of parts to do I would go with the big guys, such as the platers Mitch listed in Illinois.

                  I just found this picture and it has a couple covers I plated.
