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

I've "SIMULATED" Cad Plating with DULL Alujimum spray & a "WHISP" of Satin Clear!

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"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good." Thomas SowellComment

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.Comment

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.

I have had a lot of parts white cad plated and they look nice, however there are a few fasteners, mostly bolts that I forgot to have cad plated or discovered later that they needed to be plated. Does anyone know of a spray paint finish that mimics white cad plating? I was thinking of something like a white or off-white spray paint and then scuff it lightly.

I’ve read on this forum several times about how people don’t like the “base/clear” look. And that the single stage urethane is a more “correct” appearance. But as a professional painter I’ve never really understood the argument. Base clear is a much simpler system to make repairs on, the only advantage in my opinion to single stage is it’s cheaper to buy a one step system than a two...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
