My zinc platers will not touch cadmium plated parts unless they come to them after being glass bead blasted.
I shoot all the zinc plated parts with clear matte finish paint. Looks like cadmium. Lasts longer, too.

I got mine done here: https://www.reflektorklinik.de/
Don't be intimidated by the fact that the site is in German. You can communicate with them just fine in English through email.
Mine came back great and for far less than what people charge here in the U.S. even with the overseas shipping.

Got them done at Wayne's Chrome and Plating in Fredericksburg, VA. Took a long time, over 4 months! (Due to them running out of some chemicals), but the result looks great. Typical turnaround time is usually 8-10 weeks.

funny stuff and great looking stuff. TALK ABOUT EXTREME
My question would be with all these great looking nuts and bolts DOESN'T THAT MESS WITH THE TORQUING REQUIRED TO SNUG THESE UP???
Seems it just changes the friction or holding ability

As for replicating… we might have to start with some NOS and mass spectrometry.
