Galvanizing and powdercoating are two different animals.

Molten zinc bath is something like 900F so silicone or anything else will be vaporized. The place that did my frame actually dipped in zinc bath first to burn off crud before starting the acid/etc dipping before going to final galvanizing. Pics in my build thread (which I haven't been able to update in quite a while).
