1087.0. "Zinc Spray a Chassis ?" by SUBURB::GALEC (Chris Gale) Tue May 29 1990 13:19

    
    Hello All,
    
         Can anyone recommend anywhere that can either grit blast
    a car chassis or zinc spray it (preferably both) somewhere down
    south ?
    
         Thanks in advance.

    HS Shotblasting in Newbury will blast just about anything they can
    get through the door (and their place has a BIG door). Why "ZINC
    SPRAY"   ....... ? Do you really mean spray with a plasma torch
    or just spray with a zinc-loaded anti corrosion paint, in which
    case any spray place will do it.

    Thanks I can push it to Newbury .....
    
    The process recommended to me is "metalised" which is spraying molten
    zinc. This is a lot better than galvanising in that it is more
    flexible.(Plating leaves a plate, spraying leaves lots of little
    globs.)
    
    Having believed that I'd got the chassis clean and painted 5 years
    ago and watched it start to bubble I don't want to get it wrong
    this time ....
    
    I'll post the results.
    
    Chris.
