Thanks for your contributions gents!

Trackrash & Clarkd, How do you get such nice results with the yellow zinc chromate? I followed the instructions to the letter, the color of my solution is exactly the same as the photo you posted. My freshly zinced parts are pristine when I dunk them. But instead of the nice yellowing that you guys get, my parts come out a mottled orange, like a diseased pumpkin! Any ideas?

Donagain, Florio, Good tips, thanks!

Here’s a coil bracket that came out nicely after five ‘strikes’ through the process. I won’t even try to yellow it. Actually, I’m starting to like the non-yellowed, gun-metal gray of the plain zinc.

Robert
