I was only mildly interested in galvanizing until I called South Atlantic in Claxton just to get a little more info. When I was told minimum charge was $250 (a couple of years ago) I got more interested. Then started asking about prep. Told them it had paint, grease, rust and response was no problem - they'd just pre-dip in zinc bath to burn anything off. I asked about contaminating their zinc and they said quantity was so small on a vehicle frame that it wouldn't matter.

They had apparently also done several frames for a guy restoring land rovers over the years.

Maybe I just lucked out and its not so easy anymore!
