It never ceases to amaze me how simple some of these seemingly impossible tasks can be done with such minimal material and effort. Awesome again bud!! :)

I can see how this episode will lead to other plating topics. I like your result, and would very much enjoy seeing you paint a plated car in a way that would exploit the surface finish that plating provides. Great work as always. I enjoy this channel so much!

Perfect! I’ve been polishing some castings lately to spray Metallics over the polished finish but there’s 1 casting that didn’t polish that good. This will help me! Thanks for the great video 👍🏽

Not a collector, fan, or even owner of any hot wheels or matchbox cars. I'm an automotive enthusiast without a doubt, but what really kept me here is your ability to grow and do new things. Plus, your tone of voice is very relaxing, and after a long day of work it's nice to see a new (or old) video to help unwind. Thanks for the videos! Keep them coming :D

I'm setting up to try this. I'm using a heavily galvanized hot dipped steel lag screw as the zinc anode. My work deals with a plating company so tomorrow I'll see about getting a piece of scrap zinc from them as well.
