Default How is bright zinc plating achieved?

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...

Chris
