Source for Cadmium plating?
I have an assortment of smaller items I need cad plated for my model A restoration. Can anyone recommend a plating shop? I don't mind shipping, as total weight is less than 5 lb.
Thanks Tom |

Cad has somewhat gone by the wayside, dangerous stuff. Caswell plating has a lookalike process that you can do yourself. I have used their black coating for fasteners with good results but have not used the cad. Most reports rate their products pretty high.

Re: Source for Cadmium plating?
Many aircraft propeller overhaul shops can do CAD plating.
I use MEMPHIS PROPELLER. They do both yellow or white cad on small parts and hardware. tel:+16628955282 http://memphispropeller.com/ Last edited by GPierce; 04-23-2018 at 06:03 PM. |

Eastwood has a process you can do at home that looks very much like white cad plating. It is a zinc and tin process. Its very simple and relatively cheep. I love it. Just don't pollish the final finish and you have a very close look alike that is tarnish resistant.

Re: Source for Cadmium plating?
A lot of vintage motorcycles had cad plated parts and there are several places that do restorations that offer different types of plating. This is one located in SE WI http://www.fatdogvintagesalvage.com/...alvage_003.htm
