Default Holley Carb plating

There are a lot of us out there trying to restore Holley carburetors to their original finish. I am using the Copy Cad kit. I am glass beading the fuel bowls and main body. I then plate with the zinc. It looks pretty good at this point (maybe a little shiny). When I dip into the yellow chromate solution, my parts look way to yellow and shiny. They look just like the steel parts that I have plated. I am wanting the flat "golden" color that these carbs were originally. Should I be using the olive drab dichromate solution? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
