RE: [DML] Zinc Plated Frame



When I did my frame, I had the sections that were bad blasted to remove the
epoxy. In areas that it is hard to get at, I did it manually. But what I
found was that a good portion of the internal cavities were perfectly fine
so I left the original finish on. Then I had the frame zinc-chromated.
After that I had the frame powder coated. The first coat was a zinc rich
powder coat and the second coat was the color coat.

The trailing arms were dipped in a hot galvanizing tank. It stripped the
existing coating in the process. Since they are relatively small compared
to the frame, you may have better luck getting them to do it. I then powder
coated the trailing arms for a color match.

That's how I did it and I'm generally happy with the results.
