The 'home plating' kit for Replica Chrome, Zinc and copper plating came from Gaestros plating. The quality you get is dependent on how well you polish the item before plating. I used a combination of wet and dry paper, emery clotch and then a polishing kit, bought from Ebay, that uses a bench grinder to spin the mops. Takes a lot of time but the results can be impressive. It is great to be able to salvage a lot of the engine studs and other fastners. Regarding nuts and bolts it does not make sense to spend hours plating them. I bought from the internet, in particular Nookys Nuts. I generally used zinc plated, stainless would have been nice and I can always replace with stainless if I get the urge.
