Goldish color for an old Holley. Zinc Dichromate? Dyed, NOT any form of plating

don't know if this helps but I took my dad's calipers to a industrial only kind of place.. had no relevance to cars whatsoever but they were happy to plate them and did a great job. They had tons of plating options to choose from. So it might be worth it to look for an industrial plating or general plating company.

 

If you "plate" carb pieces, you're ASKING for trouble! Big time. The right process more resembles a dye of some sort

 

Yeah I didn't really mean to plate them. That was cadmium plating on the calipers, but this particular place did a lot of stuff including anodizing, heat treating, nitriding and more.. I just meant that a non car- related place might have what you are looking for.

 

I gotcha. I'm gonna hit a local anodizer tomorrow and see if he's got something

 

bttt

 

Is this what you're looking for?

it may not be anodizing but it may work for other parts of the car like the intake or pulley and such.

and they have an office in the bay area.
