1087.0. "Zinc Spray a Chassis ?" by SUBURB::GALEC (Chris Gale) Tue May 29 1990 10:19

    
    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.
    
                       Chris.

	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.
