Even if the Galv was ok to use it would be a PITA to ream the holes for the bushes etc
Was thining of having mine powder coated but the heat issue remains  :?

May have them blasted and wet spray with a zinc based paint

Powder coating still involves heat, but its only up to 230 degrees C, which is half the temperature of the zinc bath for galvanising.


One problem with powder coating is if its damaged (worn away by bushe movement) then moister can get in and start lifting the rest of the powder coating.

I saw a product advertised in LRO called Zinga paint. Its like a cold glavanisation paint.
I bought some so that should I ever scratch my nice Galv chassis I can at least put some of that on to protect it

Range Rover Blues:
One of the limiting factors in galvanising is any hollow parts make it difficult, can't remeber the exact reason.
