I haven't checked the list, but I was very happy with Eastwood's tin/zinc process. Very easy to do and if you don't polish the plate, it looks just like white cad plating. it's also very stable and retains the finish.

A search will show who used whom. Just double check the minimum order amount.

Simply Google Cadmium plating and the name of a major city near you.

x2. It's not like chrome plating where there are big differences between platers. The results will reflect your prep of the parts (cleaning/rust removal). Shipment to a distant cad plater will likely be more than the cost of the plating. Here's a batch I had done for a non Model A project. About $150 worth...

I used to "simulate" cad plating with dull aluminum spray & a whisp of satin clear.
I did the brake calipers on a '59 Jaguar MK-9 & the car won FIRST place at a prestigious car show.
