plating fasteners, bolts, etc.

[Leftlane]

I've got my frame torn down for blasting and paint.
I'm cleaning, and mostly blasting all the clips and nuts/bolts/washers for the entire truck.
(Yeah, there's a lot of them all bagged and tagged.)

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the small plating kits.
Casswell and a few others have either black oxide, or a zinc/cadmium package that aren't priced totally out of line.

Also, I'd like not to buy multiple kits, so its kind of either all fasteners get black or all zinc/cad.

What are your thoughts or insights?

Thanks,
Keith

I had a bucket load cad plated and it was very reasonable.
