    Trike Tool Kits

    Does anyone know what the tools that came in the kits were coated with? Was it zinc or nickel? I have a guy that works for a company that deals with coating parts and said he could help me out.

    Thanks!

    nickel is likely shinier. never seen a kit in good condition but zinc is probably gonna look the closest as long as its not the goldish zinc plate

    Just chrome them. Silver or Black would look good.

    Nothing wrong with a custom tool kit. Just pic a colour you like and do'er. Unless your looking for original look.

    Almost reminds me of flat black paint. It scuffs pretty easy
