The 510 Realm

I my have found a protective coating to cover our cad (clear/gold zink) Items. As many have mentioned "the rainbow effect" is lost when a clear coat is applied on top of plated parts. from the research I have done this loss of rainbow effect is caused by alkyds in the clear coat reacting ...

Yea, I thought I could use a plumbers preasure plug on the cup with magnet for the wiper motor to prevent damage

Good morning Byron, I wanted to ask a question about some work you did a number of pages back. I am interested in plating my wiper motor and horns. How far did have to tear down to get plated?

Eagle Rock Swap Meet is this week end. Should be some there
