Got the door latches I resurfaced plated today. I think they came out pretty good. The inner workings didn't get much zinc on them because they couldn't see the electrodes, but the part that counted where I welded and reground came out pretty well. Most of the latches are concealed, so I'm not worried so much about the shadowy spots. They should give some decent corrosion protection over bare steel.
Here's before and after pics of one of them. Even the remaining original plating on the side where the remote connects covered up nicely.
