Plating Services

Can I send my core in for plating services ONLY?

YES! You can send your parts in to be plated and returned.

To send in your parts for plating, please adhere to the following:

they must be COMPLETELY disassembled. ANY disassembly EdpLLC has to do will result in additional charges.
They should NOT be cleaned - we will take care of the cleaning/prep work.
You must Contact EdpLLC directly and specify the chromate colors you want.

PLATING DISCLAIMER - Read this - its important!

Zinc Potmetal type castings that make up these carburetors are by nature very porous. On older carbs, this sometimes results in difficulty accepting the plating or chromating. Sometimes colors bleach out or dont adhere. Some castings are just too old, contaminated and/or porous to take the plating and chromating perfectly. In these cases you will have the option of keeping the imperfect plating or beadblasting the plating off and accepting a coating of Eastwood Carb Renew, with the appropriate price adjustment.

ALSO, the plating and chromating will tend to accentuate any pitting or scarring on the pieces from rust, abuse or what have you. Do not expect these types of flaws to be hidden by the plating/chromating, you will be disappointed.

You can minimize the possibility of encountering this type of trouble by selecting the best carburetor core you can find that will serve your purposes.
