MH restoration - metal plating questions

Trying to restore my '70 400 Cross but I don't have much knowledge about metal plating.

Most of the nuts n' bolts will get a zinc & clear chromate coating, but what do I do with things like the seat base, rear sprocket, brake pull rod, and other items that would not look correct with a bright shiny mirror - type coating?

Are there any members out there that are very knowledgeable about what processes Husky used
back in the late 60's / early 70's ?

Thanks

Clear or straight zinc is what you want. It is only shinny if you polish it. Probably paint seat base semi-gloss black.

rezing yor
parts steel !

white (photo )
or black is
possible !

and
aluminium
reanodized !

The seat base on this bike is in really good condition and seems to have been plated at the factory.
It may have been galvanized or electroplated, but I am not knowledgeable enough to know the difference.
Anybody out there know for sure? Would it be zinc, tin, cadmium etc. ?

I don't know but if it's galvanized Eastwood sells a great galvanized spray pain. I know it's not real but it really does look just like it.http://www.eastwood.com/zinc-rich-galvanize-aerosol-13-oz.html
