City slicker

 

I've got a bunch of gold zinc'd parts, maybe not chromate, but I've got a lot more I need to get coated. If not I guess I'll media blast and powder coat. I'd prefer the zinc on a lot of these parts though.

ONE!!

 

The number to guess was 917! I think Mark was closest with 751 but I'll have to go back and double check

 

I forget what it's called now, but I know that "gold" color coating was a replacement that cost us way too much for industrial lighting! I've forgotten what all the zinc treatments are called now - sorry.

I had a friend years back who sprayed all his Dodge trucks from WWII and the 50's with that chromate from CANS!

 

Good timing on my part.

 

The first one that opened in San Marcos in front of Lowe's has had 2 wide lines fill the parking lot since day one! No matter WHAT time of day. About a month ago, I went by a new one on the Southbound side, and took a look......double file out to the road! It's CHICKEN folks! Heck, you have to ask for pepper!

 

The drive home is gonna suck, but it feels good to be at my son's HS baseball game tonight.

Sir, please show us on the doll where Jesus grabbed you.

 

You act like it don't get cold in Texas it's snowed a few weeks ago lol

 

lol, I know and we had a couple mornings at freezing, and yet a couple tomatoe plants from last Spring were blooming this week.

 

Just for clarity.

 

Hey Mark what about the 27th of this month

 

I think that should be enough time to get a post up and enough time for people to see it

 

Hell yeah I would drive it

 

Hey Kurt (@Oldie2007) I always thought this was gold/yellow zinc chromate; can you tell what it is?



that's the zinc plating I'm after for corrosion resistance.

 

That's the stuff. I tried to ask Google.... is it Banned?
"Zinc Chromate is a yellow crystalline powder. It is used in rust-inhibiting paints, artists' colors, as pigment in varnishes and lacquers, and in making linoleum. * Zinc Chromate is on the Hazardous Substance List because it is regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH, NIOSH, DEP, IARC, HHAG and EPA."
THAT said, if you Google "Zinc Chromate plating near me", you will find LOTS of choices doing some variation that ends up with the corrosion resistance of zinc plating, and ending up yellow.

 

That could work, where and time?

Yep, thats cool
