Playing with electroplater

[kzhorse]

I been meaning to try out the electroplateing equipment at work so I grabed this old lantern that was originally painted green over brass I striped the paint and used a zink plating and then some metal polish I think it turned out pretty good.

Now to figure out what to plate on the old mini bike,Might start with the jackshaft as it is rusting already.
