Default How is bright zinc plating achieved?

Here is a DIY kit for this process.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

Hi all,

I can tell hot dip galvanising and bright zinc plating apart (the former
creates a thick, dull layer of zinc in which you can sometimes see
grains, whereas the latter creates a thinner, shinier layer) but I'm not
sure how bright zinc plating is achieved. Is it an electroplating
process? I did a quick Google search but couldn't find the answer. Just
curious...
