How do I know what parts, bits and pieces should be zinc plated (colour differences) and chrome plated?

Here's a start http://hqssbolts.blogspot.com/ more for HQ but there is some X-over
Might be just as easy to ask here mate. Myself or others will know. If its HZ related (the real series cars) than I can defiantly help. Earlier crap I might be a bit light on info for haha!
The dull silver bits are Zinc....
The dull goldy bits are yellow Zinc...

Blocker,
Are your door scuff plates an anodised metal ones like a HQ belmont? I have chrome ones but they are wrong for my model.

I have a couple sets of door scuff plates, and not yet had a chance to inspect them.
I'll take some piccies tonight and upload them for you.
Adelaide or Brisbane build. Most Adelaide was silver/blue zinc and Brisbane was generally gold zinc thats in the land of Toranas but I think it may still apply to other series as well.
Cheers Dave
