The place I had the parts zinc plated is called Commercial Electro Plating in Fresno CA. The minimum charge is $50.00, the more you have plated, the cheaper it is. I think two five gallon buckets is $80.00. They dip the parts in acid first. Any parts that contain springs need the tension taken off the springs or the springs will break when they hit the acid. They don't charge extra if you want the gold tone done, the parts are just dipped in a dye after they are zinc plated. You can also ship them parts if you want them plated.
