Hi
Can you see UK e-Bay? There are several kits for zinc plating. Take your pick!
I looked at the first one and it appears to be comprehensive. I would think it is ideal for nuts & bolts and small parts (my background is in electroplating!!).

Sandun,
The kits you can buy here work really well, if you follow the instructions.
I bought one for doing small parts, here is a picture of some of the carburettor parts that I zinc plated and gold passivated, and they still look like that 18 months on. It is quite rewarding to see it happen and for parts to look clean and bright.

I've used this kit for a while. Does a very good job but you need to keep on top of the chemicals and add brightener now and again. I have access to a sand blaster so that helps with the preparation for some things.
