Looking for suppier of brass fitting for replacement part on engines in G scales1/29 1/20.3 or 1/24
If you are not set in stone with brass, Ozark’s has items in soft metal.
Can that metal be brass plated? Painting parts with brass paint just isn’t the same look as real brass.

There you go.
Well, that’s not exactly brass plating. But it might work.
But can this metal be brass plated?
Apparently brass plating is tough, mainly because brass is zinc and copper, and ordinary techniques get more copper than zinc deposited.
You need cyanide in the solution to “even out” the plating to get brass plating.
Not a popular treatment/finish to achieve.
