Title: ReFinishing zinc plated items, what other choices do I have? Post by: LEDCREATIONS on April 19, 2012, 02:21:10 pm Other then having the tub and shelves replated, or powdercoated what else do you guys use. Im trying to keep cost down and everytime I take my stuff to a plate company they almost lose a part.

if you clean the items well enought and prep them the way it says on the can and apply the stuff properly it will give you a nice durable finish for a long time.. but note it is not as good as powder coating in my opion,,, and zinc plating if not done right will still rust after some time.. I am steearing away from zinc on all shelves and tubs and go to powder coating.. but a cheap and easy option that looks and holds up pretty well is the Hammered paint... |
