I read a couple of threads on on this but couldn't see any details of platers, I know there are a few in the UK that can do it but I don't want to send them there unless I absolutely have to.

Anyone had any decent results from US companies?

I had just good recommendation from someone who used the Caswell plating kit and the passivate gold / olive finishing products . Zinc plating is a simple process ,
I used some vinegar , epsom salt , 2 flash light batteries and a piece of zinc to do this .

I must admit, I'm also quite interested in seeing this setup. The results look very good from the posted pic.
