Need some misc. small hardware plated -- SoCal area

Post by Senorpablo »

I need some misc. small hardware plated. Long story short, I purchased a rebuilt carb. from someone who thought it was a good idea to strip ALL the plating off the steel parts, and now they're beginning to rust. I have a small handful of screws and sheet metal parts which I'd like to get plated economically. It doesn't need to be correct or perfect, just protected.

Any suggestions on how to go about this? Anyone know a plating company that doesn't mind small batches and won't charge an arm and a leg? Something local would be ideal, I'm in the southern California area, specifically the South Bay/LA.

Thanks

We use Orange County Plating for our stuff at work. Not sure if they have a minimum. They are in Orange, California.

Why is it that the trucks are always the best running vehicles in the family?
