After doing a little research on the web,  I devised a fairly decent DIY recipe 
for zinc plating.
Results were very satisfactory.:

The poor condition of my bonnet stays is what really got me started on all this.
Before I give you the recipe I should mention that you can order a zinc kit 
from Caswell plating for about $150.
http://www.caswellplating.com/   This might be an easier alternative if you do 
not wish to play around 
with chemicals.
I tried to send this procedure all in one email but the list appears to have a 
message limit size.
So I will post it in parts.
