That was extremely educational great work man! I hope everyone will start doing this so all of the manufacturers stop trying to sell 38.00 dollar oem fasteners🤣
Haha right? Them bolts are made of gold ya know
Good to have you back cam, we all miss you

Can't believe I made a 45 minute video on BOLTS of all things
Cameron Niemela bolts are interesting. Metric, standard, flanged, carriage, etc; there’s so many variations.
Still a great video stayed up until 10:50PM to watch this and it was worth it keep up the good work man
Only you can make it interesting
Perfection in pride is unpredictable
And I like bolts enough that I watched it all. Lol
Iam a die hard at fixing my own stuff, and everytime i watch one of your videos i always learn something new. Thanks for all the work and detail you put into your work and videos. You could tell you really take pride in what you do. 👍
Dude, I honestly don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers, because your content is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The amount of knowledge you have shared to the work is amazing. I will learn more from you then i will from school great job cam 🇨🇦🤙🏻🤙🏻
Cameron, you have the gift of explaining things very throughly, thanks for taking the time to do these videos, lots of people could turn this into a way of earning their living. Way to go brother, much respect. Keep it up and blessings!!
I was just watching videos on how to clean bolts on 3 piece wheels and I ended up watching your whole video. Very cool!
Great to see you back Cameron. Always a pleasure seeing your highly articulate and detailed processes being filmed.
This is such a complex process, a lot of chemicals going on. Still doesn't surprise me you figured it out! You are really good at learning (and teaching at the same time)
By the way, I think the gold with a sandblasted part will look insanely cool!.
The brushed finish looks clean.
i dont know how he dosent have more view. this guy is a true machanic and knows what he is doing.
Love the longer vids Cameron! Stay strong dude!
Keep going man, you don’t understand how nice it is to see u keeping up with your passion even through the fight
I got that exact same kit, and I love it. I restore 1960’s Hondas and use it to replate old fasteners, brackets, and other hard-to-find parts.
That's neat.
Are you guys brothers?
Yeah they are
Wow. Well isn't that neat.
Half past 1am this is keeping me up
Cameron, buddy, your videos always deliver! I've been lamenting the cost in both money and time to either buy new hardware or have my old stuff re-plated on my 2001 KDX 200 project for a while now. Seriously had no idea that anyone made a kit to do this at home. My brother and I are also rebuilding my nephew's KTM 65 XC and a Yamaha Wolverine quad. Add in my love of old cars and trucks, and this is definitely a worthwhile investment. Thanks for being the guy who shows the rest of us how to get it done!
So happy to see an upload man! Keep it up!
Very interesting process indeed! I really like the chrome look against the cerakote, very cool contrast.
Great work, super detailed. I've been struggling with a dull finish so this has given me confidence to try again
Bikes , Bolts, Life , you do it well! Good to see you busy again. Plated Brush finish 👍🏽
Another great vid by Cameron! Can’t wait to c ur 250 finished
Best channel on TH-cam! Glad to see you rockin" and rollin'
Glad to see ya back in action brother! Great vid!
Fantastic!!! I know it has been 3 years but your videos inspire and inform long after you posted them. I really learned a lot. Thanks!
Another great informative video Cam, you’re awesome ! Keep em coming lad, we love to watch you work and get inspired👍🏽🏁
Thank you for showing the process,Im definitely going to get started for all my projects.👌🙏🙏
I can’t wait to see this bike finished. Always awesome vids man
Great video Cam. Appreciate the depth of detail you went into to get the best results
You have been so very helpful towards my car restoration project! Thank you for this video and all the amazing tips in between! I’m definitely learning as I go and you for sure brought the path of this process clear into my mind
Thank you
I dont have any intention of doing this but this video is so good and informative that I watched it all anyway. Thanks for putting such an effort into sharing this.
If MIT had a dirt bike resto professor he would be you! Wicked Smaht! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👊✊☝️
Did a good job
I get a lot of stuff zinc plated and the current guy I use has a heated caustic pickling bath that he puts parts in overnight first to strip anything off them (painted steel I've welded etc.) since the sand blasting leaves a dull finish
The problem with the sand blasted finish is in the weather or grime it gets stained more easily than the glossy chrome finish.
To dry off small parts once they are done he has a container of fine sawdust he puts the smaller parts in the dry them off without touching them.
Love the brushed finish! Excellent informative video👍👌
So glad to see another video 👍👍👍 Been looking forward to it.
Hi Cameron! God bless you and your family. With love from South Africa!
Very comprehensive and thorough. I love how you walked us through, and showed what went wrong and how you fixed it. I dont think its for me, i am happy just to polish up bolts and parts, or get new bits, as i am only doing one bike at a time. However I really enjoyed the video, thanks again Cameron.
Nice job, Cameron. Watching your videos is like doing a college lab. You make it fun and informative. Way to keep it prime!
Thanks Tim!
Hi Cameron! Good to see you!! Thanx for another killer video!! Hope you are feeling well!! Keep up the good work!!
KEEP IT PRYME!!!
Thanks very helpful for my suv dirt bike and mtb restoration project...videos like these have become the movies the webseries i'd watch for hours and hours on weekends🍿🍿
That's awesome man! Nice to see that you take a lot of pride in your projects
Thank you Cameron, I just plated my first bolt and it looks great. To keep the plating bucket at the correct temperature, without leaving the bucket heater in which as you mentioned could react with the plating process, I put the Caswell bucket I use for plating into a larger bucket. The larger bucket has a microwave safe kitchen plate on the bottom. , I placed the bucket heater element on top of the plate. Then I put a jar on the plate, inside of the bucket heater loop. The larger (outer bucket) is then filled with some water. I put the Caswell smaller plating bucket inside of the larger bucket. This way the heating element isn't touching any plastic and it can't react with the inner bucket, yet it keeps the whole thing at an even temperature.
Nice results! Regarding the mild pitting from the rust at 33:35, you might want to try some de-rusting via electrolysis before attacking the part with the scotch bright wheel. Electrolytic de-rusting reforms the material by removing the oxygen from the oxidized part. You might get lucky and recover some of the material and thus reduce the pitting. You already have most of the set up you need. You just need to get one more bucket. One warning : careful with stainless steel when doing this - never use stainless steel or stuff containing chrome as your container or the sacrificial element or you will get very nasty, hazardous vapours and gases. So stick to normal iron/steel for your sacrificial element and plastic for your container.
That’s exactly what I realized while restoring bikes parts ! Acid is a very easy way to remove rust but it just dissolves while electrolyte convert the rust leaving less pitting !
Apparently carbon is a great sacrificial element leaving a very clean bath
@@1conu593 Useful to know this observation. Since I made the original comment above, I've been told that it is not correct as it is not possible to undo the oxidisation and liberate the oxygen from the oxidised iron via electrolysis--the only way to do that is through extreme heat, which would melt the part. Given your observation, something else must be going on but I'm not a chemist. I also know that acid will eat the metal away so that might possibly make the pitting worse, depending on how long the piece is exposed to it.
Rust conversion may be another possible option in certain situations.
@@1conu593 Thanks for the tip--I'll check it out.
The Heisenberg of finish! Great work! Best youtube channel out there.
Excellent work Cameron!!! All of them look amazing! Thanks a lot.
I love how you learn all new things and are really good at them in a week
Rick Bentley - Probably has something to do with the fact that he actually reads the manual/instructions! ;-)
Totally awesome!
I looked into plating in the past but decided not to go into it cause it seemed so intimidating.
With that said, your method certainly makes it look easy enough to perform - and so now I'm gonna try this myself
SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!
Great video as always Cameron glad to see you’re doing good, I am a fan of the shiny zinc finish
I would absolutely love to this guy restore and clean up a honda trx250r! I mean i cant even put into words how amazing it would be. There rare enough as it is, but could u imagine what it would be worth to someone just bone stock and show room quality. Man, your work is excellent! So much respect.
You are a very patient man. Nice work.
Amazing work, i love how accurate you are! Such an inspiration😃
Dear Cameron, thanks for your excellent detailed video. Boy, I didn’t realise that polished zinc looked so beautiful. It’s nothing like galvanised iron. Have to give it a try. I’ve got a heap of rusty tools that I want to plate and it seems that zinc is a strong contender.
CANT WAIT FOR THIS BIKE TO BE DONE. cant believe it's been over a year and how much has gone into this.
Hey. Glad to see your back on. I have been praying for you, hope you are doing well.
Another top quality vid..awesome work..can't wait for next episode..hope your feeling better bud..stay strong!!!
Great video. All your tutorials are absolutely top notch.
I follow you from Italy, best channel ever.
Thanks for your video Cameron and good luck for everything.
Awesome info brother! Your attention to detail is impeccable
I watched this years ago and now I'm watching it again. Cameron, you are a great teacher and I admire your dedication.
One thing I would've loved to see here was the Black Zinc. My Kawasaki ZX9R has them all over the place and they are quite expensive to buy from the dealer and I'd love to be able to re plate them just like the factor do. Honda also have a similar colouring on their hardware too. It tends to be a bit more glossier than that of Kawasaki, but similar colour.
I'd love to see a video on that if possible.
Thanks again !
Nice Cameron keep up the good work hope u do race tutorials 👍
Awesome production!!! Congratulations!
Excellent job young man! Thanks
I like the brush finish too! Hey I'm restoring a 1990 kx500, gonna look into this
I cannot wait to see that bike fully built!
Another great video thank you very much that was very informative I used similar methods only mine were a little more primitive I used only sandpaper and mothers and the results were good but with your methods I know I can do a lot better thank you for inspiring and sharing all your knowledge you are a pillar in the sport and I can't wait to see what you have for us next
Awesome trick, I’ll definitely have to try it out in my 01 Yamaha Blaster
Chrome looks awesome
First of all why do people dislike this amazing content. Keep pushing, I’m supporting you like family
one of your best videos ever. Thanks for all the info.
That zinc plated with the brushed finish is fire 🔥 😍😍😍
Best video on this yet. Thank you so much.
Brushed plating looks sick!
Nicely done!
I always watch videos at 2x speed, saying that, I've learned more in 20 minutes from you than I could have by going to a trade school for this. Great job on this video!
Anodizing aluminum with dyes and colors is fascinating too.
Thanks man! Yeah anodizing would be fun to get into
I NEVER KNEW UNTIL NOW THAT YOU CAN ADJUST THE PLAYBACK SPEED . PROBABLY THE BEST TIP EVER. THANK YOU
Been missing your videos! Glad to see a new one :)
not many people that do videos on these speicific things so nice job this will be helpful for many people
Really cool! Much better than putting a bolt to the wire wheel and putting it back in. Especially through a bearing/bushing where we need a specific tolerance and we’ve just removed a bunch of material haha. Nice job. Done right!
Amazing results!🔥 Great video man!
Great video Cameron, I am very Happy to see you in Good Shape, Take care ! Can't wait to see this wonderfull CR finished, You are Great Man !
Hard work always pays off. Great looking bike.
Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. I ordered the kit and some supplies from your links.
Seriously a top notch tutorial. I might add if I may, to test proper adhesion of the plating, use masking tape to see if plating has adhered well. If the plating does not transfer to the tape then you are good, if plating transfers to the tape, usually looking like pepper flakes then it is going to fail and should be redone.
this is amazing man, i wItched the whole video man, keep it up, cant wait to see the final bike!!
I had already gone through this process using the same kit and your experience exactly mirrors mine. I also use a long narrow container bought at a garden centre for plating brake rods or anything that doesn’t fit in the standard bucket. It does make you realise why plating companies charge so much though, it’s not a quick process.
Finely got one of these kits can't believe how good they are ive even done my mono shock pasivated in yellow all carburetor inlet stubs the little screws shock spring collars or & good tip on the spindles cam & the white haze. but be careful on the copper wire it'll start acting like a anode & youll get gold tinch in the zinc if you're still using this kit. i use fish tank heater in mine can't believe it was a year ago i last commented on this video but keep your videos comeing buddy
Awesome man I’m definitely gonna be looking into this kit👍
Hi Cameron, I received your 3M style disks and tested that fine one today and honestly: I am impressed, really impressed. I had an aluminium part from a waterpump and it was in aweful condition so I vapor blasted it and ended up with a silky smooth surface then I tried your disk and without any pressure polished the surface to a high gloss. Honestly, it took no effort at all and within minutes it was better than any of my fabric polishing disks would be able to. I did not need compound which usually splatters all over the place. I hope you sell a lot of them. I will definitely come back for more in the future. Maybe you should also get some small ball shaped ones for polishing in tight corners with s grinder. I would buy it.
Greetings Bernhard
I ordered the medium and fine abrasive wheels this week and got them in record time, just two days! These are a game changer! The scotch bright type wheels make quick work of dull and rough bolts. I just wish I had these last year. It would of save me hours and hours of tedious hand polishing.
I highly recommend these to get your bolts nice and shiny in record time so you can spend more time riding.
The details are what make a bike look awesome.
I appreciate the awesome feedback Lou! Happy to hear the wheels are making a difference on your projects!
Thanks for the vid cam!
Shop looks great.🙏🙏👌
Love this video keep up the good work, hope you can make daily or weekly videos
I'm not a dirt bike guy but always like your videos , and have to say the bike looks great ...
Love you videos! Stay strong!
Great tutorial and thanks for putting in so much time and effort. I’ve seen a few video’s and this is the first that I would now consider tackling myself. You could put the heater in a larger, shallow bucket of water and place the plating bucket in that hot water. That way the metal from the heater wouldn’t interfere with the plating process but I would not have thought of that unless I had watched this all the way through. Do you know if the process is similar for nickel plating?
Absolutly awesome, great job man!
I like the black finish to the bolts!!
