Good to have you back cam, we all miss you
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
Best dirt bike youtuber award goes to...

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
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 🇨🇦🤙🏻🤙🏻
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. 👍
I was just watching videos on how to clean bolts on 3 piece wheels and I ended up watching your whole video. Very cool!
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.
The brushed finish looks clean.
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!.
Dude, I honestly don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers, because your content is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's neat.
Are you guys brothers?
Yeah they are
Wow. Well isn't that neat.
i dont know how he dosent have more view. this guy is a true machanic and knows what he is doing.
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.
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🍿🍿
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
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! ;-)
Very interesting process indeed! I really like the chrome look against the cerakote, very cool contrast.
Great to see you back Cameron. Always a pleasure seeing your highly articulate and detailed processes being filmed.
Keep going man, you don’t understand how nice it is to see u keeping up with your passion even through the fight
I like the brush finish too! Hey I'm restoring a 1990 kx500, gonna look into this
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.
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!!
not many people that do videos on these speicific things so nice job this will be helpful for many people
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.
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!
Thank you for showing the process,Im definitely going to get started for all my projects.👌🙏🙏
CANT WAIT FOR THIS BIKE TO BE DONE. cant believe it's been over a year and how much has gone into this.
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.
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
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.
Bikes , Bolts, Life , you do it well! Good to see you busy again. Plated Brush finish 👍🏽
Half past 1am this is keeping me up
Hey. Glad to see your back on. I have been praying for you, hope you are doing well.
Love the longer vids Cameron! Stay strong dude!
If I get the new CRF125F and swap a CRF150R motor in it, I'd definitely want this process done to all of the hardware because for the pitbikes it's hard to find a specific hardware kit with the zinc plating on it. While I'd be at that I'd freshen up the hardware on my 3 other bikes as well as a little finishing touch. Awesome video Cam, I was really wondering how plating was done. Thanks.
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!
Awesome trick, I’ll definitely have to try it out in my 01 Yamaha Blaster
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.
Hi Cameron! God bless you and your family. With love from South Africa!
I've got a 1969 Suzuki 250cc that needs restored. I'm thinking of doing everything myself but honestly I might have to just pay bookoo bucks if I really want it done sometime in the next decade. I like your garage setup! I could see myself someday working with metal and restoring things for fun.
First of all why do people dislike this amazing content. Keep pushing, I’m supporting you like family
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.
Hi Cameron! Good to see you!! Thanx for another killer video!! Hope you are feeling well!! Keep up the good work!!
KEEP IT PRYME!!!
Excellent job young man! Thanks
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!
Need to get one of these plateing kits not just for bolts i need to yellow cromate my reed stoppers as my coating as come away. Good job Cameron
Nice Cameron keep up the good work hope u do race tutorials 👍
Great video Cam. Appreciate the depth of detail you went into to get the best results
Love the brushed finish! Excellent informative video👍👌
Wow, i just discover your youtube Chanel with this video. It's quite the best vidéo on the topic WE CAN find on World wide web.
Thanks for everything, i'll start this project soon.
I can’t wait to see this bike finished. Always awesome vids man
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!
I like the black finish to the bolts!!
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 !
If MIT had a dirt bike resto professor he would be you! Wicked Smaht! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👊✊☝️
Chrome looks awesome
Wow bro that is prime!
You are a very patient man. Nice work.
Shop looks great.🙏🙏👌
Thanks for the vid cam!
Another great vid by Cameron! Can’t wait to c ur 250 finished
I cannot wait to see that bike fully built!
Best channel on UA-cam! Glad to see you rockin" and rollin'
Great work, super detailed. I've been struggling with a dull finish so this has given me confidence to try again
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.
That CR is gonna be a show stopper. 1 of the nicest I've seen.
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 don't know if this has been mentioned but if you use a stainless bar to hang from it won't corrode from the acid or plating fluids. I also use stainless bolts and wing nuts on my hanging bar to make the connection easier to make and more consistent. Nice work by the way Cam.
Brushed plating looks sick!
Great video. I'm restoring a 1974 Kawasaki Z1 900. I learned a lot. Thanks
The Heisenberg of finish! Great work! Best youtube channel out there.
great work cam your looking as good as that bike your winning the fight like we all know you will god bless 🙏🏻
I hope u are getting better (u look alot better) i never new about this stuff and i think it is hella bad ass and i i cant wate to see the bike run
G9Garage did this on his bike and I thought it was a great idea. You did a perfect job and well explained. thanks
Nice watched your video on ultrasonic cleaner so I bought one never looked back today I went and bought a zinc plating kit a guy about an hour away sells them so I will be plating my bolts at the weekend
Great to see a new video and hope that you are doing much better.
Hi
nice video. Just got the CopyCad kit and Yellow Chromate. I'm going to wait for warmer weather to do this in the garage!
Very nice shop, lighting in the bike area is perfect! Add in a tv area and a few machines and you would match my idea of a perfect shop
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!
Mate thanks for the video.
The wrap around the zinc is meant to cover the whole thing. It's there so when it starts to disintegrate it does not contaminate your solution
I do not know English but the way you do things is handled very well, greetings from South America, Santa Cruz Bolivia.
Cameron you da man. You are so passionate about what you do, you really found your nich.
If I may I wanted to tell you a funny story about a friend of mine . He was grinding magnesium engine casing to make room for a new carb and reed box . The dust covered the back wall behind the bench grinder, then he ground down a steel bolt and it exploded !!! he walked out from the shop covered in black soot . He wasn't hurt just he's pride he looked like a cartoon character .lmao
The bikes coming along so good I wish I had this kinda time for my 05 crf 250r but you inspire me I even shined up my engine cases like in one of your older videos and it looks really good 💯❤️
That one guy who disliked this video is trying to say 'dis I like'
Or he's or she is stupid 😂
True
Or black
LoL
Good one. Thanks for the grin. :)
Another great informative video Cam, you’re awesome ! Keep em coming lad, we love to watch you work and get inspired👍🏽🏁
Glad to see ya back in action brother! Great vid!
Nicely done!
I follow you from Italy, best channel ever.
Thanks for your video Cameron and good luck for everything.
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.
So glad to see another video 👍👍👍 Been looking forward to it.
unreal video dude. wish we had more info on the vapor blaster pump though. we are still waiting
A great video! Thanks for that. If I were doing those bolts and wanted the brushed finish I would only do the bit you can see as 95% of those bolts are inside some component and not seen. So I'd just brush finish the bolt hexagon and the nut if there is one to preserve the best rust resistance. After all you plated it for that reason.
Great video. All your tutorials are absolutely top notch.
Great video as always Cameron glad to see you’re doing good, I am a fan of the shiny zinc finish
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
We need Cameron over 350k subs, how can he not be there already TM MX doesn't even have content like this. Videos are pryme my guy!
Tyler and Cam both run awesome channels in their own slightly different kind of ways. Love em both. Cams super informative and how toos are prime. Tylers channel definitely has a younger crowd appeal sometimes and his channel has grown more vast than just dirtbike stuff. More of a vlog kind of feel. Like I said. Both are some of my favorite channels I actually have notifications on for.
I definitely like the Crome finish best
That zinc plated with the brushed finish is fire 🔥 😍😍😍
How does someone make a video this good about nuts and bolts
