Chaps and chapettes, I'm keen to do some of my own anodizing/plating. Thinking of doing the fork tubes a nicer shade of gold and the yokes black, that kind of thing I've been researching ont tinterweb and it looks pretty easy really, and theirs kits for 60-100 quidish on egay.
Anyone done any and can give us a few pointers
Cheers.

only dabbled in zinc coatings and it is essential to get to get the current correct to get a good even coverage. obviously practice and a lot of old stuff till you get it right.

Yep current control is the all important thing as is cleanliness and preparation of whatever you`re trying to plate.
