Tech Talk / Zinc plating - Qld
« on: November 24, 2014, 02:35:06 pm »
Can anyone recommend a good quality zinc plater in Qld? (or further adrift - I'll ship further for quality work).
Years ago I used Custom Coatings in Nth Brisbane. They were excellent to deal with, the quality was excellent and the prices were great also. I used them for my 96 McGrath replica CR. Unfortunately they no longer offer a zinc plating service and they recommend East Coast Electroplating. I used ECC about 6 months ago and they were terrible to put it politely! The quality was nowehere near what CC produced, the prices were double and the service was lousy. I had to continually call every week (and eventually every day) just to remind the guy that he had to do the job. He seriously asked me to continue to call him to remind him to do it! Who runs a business like that?? Turn around time stretched out to over 4 weeks also.
So can anyone recommend anyone else? Has anyone tried Gold Coast Electroplating? Any recommendations for NSW or Vic for good quality and people who understand the pain staking detail we put into our builds?
Thanks in advance
