SpitFire6 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi, Any thoughts on this zinc "galvanised coating"? Looks cheap enough @ 30 quid for 1Kg? https://supply1.co.uk/zinga-galvanising-system-10432-p.asp?_=&variantid=10433&gclid=CjwKCAjwlZf3BRABEiwA8Q0qq4kcgyX7oUglwS1QZetheMvtVpdp4b3b7BwAU4eEY6g8JWJc7ixydxoCRUkQAvD_BwE Cheers, Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 There are some excellent commercial paint systems about, juts follow their instructions to the letter. Zinga is indeed decent stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Zinga appears to be a very good protective coating. I brushed it on some components a fair few years ago. The brush marks tend to remain. I never tried spraying it. I may revisit it to do the suspension later this year. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 I had metal gates fitted to my last house, and the bracket that goes into the ground for the drop-bars was simple shaped and drilled iron. The fitter sprayed it with a galvanising spray from an aerosol can and almost twenty years later it was still rust free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Zinc-rich, weld-through, primer. I use U-Pol but many other brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 We are not comparing like-for-lie. The Zinga is the stuff they would use on (eg) oil rigs, pylons and so on. It is not a pretty coating, but VERY functional for harsh environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Zinga is available in 500mL aerosol - apprx £25 Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Twitchen Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Fully support Clive's comment above. A very useful, durable and long lasting finish on old iron marine fittings but not the most attractive when the rest of the car's paintwork shines.
