Going to be starting a 140 patio resto this winter. Does anyone have experience having hardware and other parts replated in silver cadmium? What shop did you use? How much did it cost? ...

A quick google search led me to ways one can do it themselves at little cost. There appears to be more time spent in prepping the parts.

Here's one video explaining the process of zinc plating. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nyp7vtNUQQ

Here's another related to nickel plating. It seems costly, but in the long run, would it be worth it. That you have to decide. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHBIlz5Pt5g

Nickel plating is not as easy as it looks.

I spent 3 months getting it working at my job
