Worked great on bolts and nuts! Highly Recommended
Cost effective and worked great to plate bolts and nuts that were previously treated with cadmium (now band). Just don't polish and it matches cadmium well. I used a 3V DC 2 amp wall power supply to avoid batteries too.

Great product
I purchased this kit because the acid and zinc bar were worn out from years of use. This new kit works much better than my original kit. It plates nuts in about 30 seconds and bolts in a minute. It is a great value for money.

Questions & Answers
I’m looking for something to replate yellow zinc nuts/bolts/brackets on automotive engines. Can this do yellow zinc color?
The Eastwood Electroplating System Tin Zinc is designed to restore the original brilliant luster to properly prepared metal parts, providing a finish that closely resembles cadmium plating. However, it does not produce a yellow zinc finish. The system is specifically for tin-zinc electroplating, which results in a silver-like finish .
If you are specifically looking for a yellow zinc finish, this kit would not meet your needs. You may need to explore other plating systems or coatings designed for yellow zinc finishes.

I see the question was asked 5 years ago, but not adequately answered: WHERE'S THE ZINC? The solution contains tin, and the anode is described as pure tin, so why is this call Tin-Zinc plating? Am I missing something? I actually want pure tin plating..
This system uses a tin-zinc anode bar, which is almost completely tin.

I have one of your zink plating kits that I have been using for several years to plate hardware for motorcycle restorations. I really would like to stop buying batteries. Can I use a 3 - 5 volt, 1 amp power supply?
Another user said he used an AC to DC power supply on 3 V at 2 AMPS … I came here to find out the same thing

Electroplating is easier than you think when you use the Eastwood Tin-Zinc Electroplating System. It brings back the original brilliant luster to properly prepared metal parts.
I have no experience replacing nickel.
not sure about the Phosphoric acid interrupting the process.
This kit solves problems of sending parts out to expensive plating shops, or storing dangerous chemicals by allowing you to conveniently plate almost any metal part at home. This system brings a brilliant luster to properly prepared metal parts with a corrosion-resistant, protective plating resembling chrome but without the expense, hassles or hazards. Electroplating uses electric current to pull small amounts of metal from the positively charged tin-zinc anode bar through electrolyte solution and onto the negatively charged piece to be plated. The anode bar will last through dozens of parts.

Could be you switch out the zinc tin anode for just a regular zinc anode?
The kits are complete and we cannot brake them up or make changes

Will this plate a bumper
It will, plate any metal although you'll need a large trough to dip the entire bumper in. The amount liquid to cover the entire part, will be required.
This will not give the appearance of a Chrome bumper.

I noticed some rust inside the fuel filler and vent tube on my 1986 GMC C1500. After removing the rust, will the Tin-Zinc Electroplating System keep the rust from coming back? And how well will the plating stand up to continuous contact with fuel?
We do not recommend this product for an application that will be exposed to constant submersion to fuel.
