    Looking for a good Zinc coating for my rims and other coatings.

    Looking for someone or someone you might know who can zinc coat my rims. Also, looking for other metals to use on my motorcycle. I live in Minnesota. Shipping is ok.

    Thanks,
    Spencer

    Spencer,
    Try threejplating.com They are located near Ohare Airport in Elk Grove Village,Il.They did the cad and zinc on my servi-car.
    They do no prep other than a chem clean before dip.They do "white" and gold cad. Price is reasonable.Turn around good.they did my stuff 3 years ago.
    Call ahead to make sure they are still doing this.This is sidework that they slip in between their industrial jobs.
    Run by 3 lovely ladies!
    Good luck,Bob

          Miller in Sons, Belleville, NJ. Bill they have to be glass beaded spotless and blown off. Any thing left on the treads will impede the treading on of the nipples in the end after plating. Bob L
