And what's wrong with hot dip galv may I ask? To me seems the best option...arms get belted with rocks and mud...shot blasted in effect...not many coatings will take that for long but thick zinc self heals...well no...self sacrifices itself in fact to prevent rust...also goes grey after a while or you cold just blast black wax or paint over the bling if you want stealth bomber styling..


Thick zinc for me everywhere I can get it!

Where do you get your galvanising done? I did look into it once but couldn't find anybody local. You're not too far from me at Lancaster.
