I'm looking at restoring that lovely gold finish to a variety of nuts, bolts and clamps that will go on my sport resto.

I've check a few kits on eBay and found things like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zinc-Electroplati ... 3a5e962f20

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ultimate-Zinc-pla ... 3a5e71c83c

A fellow zoner bought these to my attention a while ago, but I just wondered if anyone else has had any experience with this kind of thing? Which kit should I go for?

Cheers

Trevor (B7) has a kit and has had some good results. Worth PM'ing him.
