Title: How do I refinish these parts? Post by: scriptx on April 11, 2010, 11:08:34 am There are numerous parts that are a metal that has a goldish hue, e.g. the long lock bar for the coin door. How would you recommend refinishing them?
Lastly, the main door latch handle and assembly has me a little perplexed as well. There are numerous parts where metal rubs on metal so does everybody just polish theirs?

Post by: collecture on April 11, 2010, 12:28:35 pm There are numerous parts that are a metal that has a goldish hue, Yellow zinc plating - my place now charges $60 for each rack or barrel - used to be $45, so take as much as you can to the place at once. Lastly, make sure all parts are steel since they clean the parts in acid and it will eat up aluminum or potmetal in a heartbeat. A magnet will stick to steel, but not brass, aluminum or potmetal. Look under 'Metal Finishing' in the Yellow Pages. Can't help much on the handle with out a picture Title: Re: How do I refinish these parts?
