The Eastwood Company sells a handy little plating kit for about $70. This
consists of an electrolyte, a tin/zinc alloy anode (donor metal), a battery
holder which uses 4 D cells, a plating brush, and assorted containers in
which to do the plating.

I find this very effective and useful. It leaves a matte-finish zinc/tin
plate which looks very "appropriate". Small parts take only a minute or two
to leave a nice thickness. But the part MUST BE CLEAN before you start.
