Antiquing on zinc
Hello there! I am Earl Ocay from the Philippines. I'm quite new in the metal finishing industry. I have already have done some research about antiquing on zinc plated items but I still haven't found a book or read an article that can answer my question on how to antique zinc plated items. I theres anybody here who is kindhearted enough to share some knowledge on these I will really appreciate it. As I've said, I'm still a novice with these things so I hope you will help me with this. Thank you very much.

Try to find old Fishlocks Handbook on Metal Colouring, there you can find some good infos on that subject! Good luck!

Dear Sir,
You can try the metal by plating Black nickel, following by tumbling or tubbing. Or you can have the pieces in rotator with black dye and thinner.
