Re: Galvanizing process

Jack,
It eventually goes a much darker grey and any subsequent work that disturbs the coating will be a corrosion point.
Much easier to use a good paint process - the type that is used on trucks over a primer then baked is especially good and takes loads of knocks without chipping. It's a wet spray - not a powder coat. Any areas where subsequent work is done can be painted again and left to air dry. And yes, there are some company's around that can get a whole chassis into an oven.
