Several people have expressed an interest in nickel plating. Nickel
plating and metal blackening kits are also available from:
Frost Auto Restoration Techniques Ltd.
Crawford Street
Rochdale, Lancashire OL16 5NU
Tel: 44-1706-658616
FAX: 44-1706-860338
E-mail: art@frost.co.uk
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Frost, it is a major supplier
of tools and supplies for automotive restoration. An excellent source,
and outstanding catalog with many items that simply are not available
here. They are similar to Eastwood, but with a much larger catalog that
is directed at meeting the needs of the English classic car owner. When
you look at Frost's prices, remember that they will deduct the VAT from
the published price. In some cases, their prices are substantially less
than in America.
I picked a kit up at the "Classic and Sports Car" show in May, and have
not yet had a chance to use it. I bought my kit from:
Tec-Nick
92-98 Haltwhistle Road
Western Industrial Area
South Woodham Ferrers
Chelmsford, Esses CM3 5ZF
England
Tel: 44-1245-325985
FAX: 44-1245-325984
They have a wide range of plating kits and supplies, including those for
nickel, black nickel, copper, zinc, and black oxide. There is a wide
range of prices, and I paid about $73 for mine.
