Default Fellow Newbie Plater

I just joined this forum and have ordered the Copy CAD Yellow crystals.

I too am going to re-cad Porsche 914/911 parts! Do you have any suggestions? I have been plating zinc on a few parts so far. That has been going really well. But, I am looking for that final Yellow Chromate Look.

My process so far is Cleanup Using an Electrolysis rust/scale removing system to clean them up. On my Pedal assy. It took everything off great. But sure makes a nasty looking Smut bath.

Then sand/bead blasting the parts and Parkerizing them prior to repainting them black.

My plating for the earlier 911/914 style Swaybar hardware will include bead blasting the hardware and zinc plating then Copy Cad.

Does anyone have a suggestion for stripping the original Yellow Chromate/CAD plating safely. Can I use an ACID Bath? If so what does the mixture consist of? I really don't want to blast or wire wheel the parts and create any Toxic Dust.

Thanks Mark MG911Guy
