Thats awesome! both the restored alternator & Data's home brew zinc'ing
Wouldn't it just be easier though for me to send my parts to you data?

Just kidding of course. I have the same problem though. Had a car guy who owned a plating company & did all my parts for me for a couple vehicles in the past. He recently retired & sold the business. They no longer do car parts. too small, & too much hassle it would appear.
For what its worth, I found a paint, that looks so crazy close to clear cad for parts that can't be dunked & don't need the best protection. I did a few parts like the base on my original horn/buzzer relay & dual port vacuum advance module.
