Post subject:  Cold galvanising paint - galvofroid

Has anyone had any experience with the cold galvanising products our there?

I've only used it once very successfully on a boat trailer

I've done some reading and there's lots of products available. But galvofroid and Zinga ( http://www.frost.co.uk/zinga-cold-zinc- ... g-tin.html )

If it was so good why doesn't the world of classics paint the bottom of there cars with it? Or is it simply too good to be true?!

I used aerosol spray galvanizing and have a hell of a problem. 2 pack primer and top coat has started to drop off, leaving galvanized coat in situ. You MUST use some sort of acid etch primer after galvanised coatings.

If you apply it from an aerosol can it contains aluminium particles to make it spray do it doesn't work properly....

aaarg steer clear of frost its expensive piddle about in your "Shop" making stuff look good with aerosols.


2part epoxy mastic which can be brushed without breathing aparatus , seems too get best results.

Ie bought some epoxy mastic a few days ago to paint the 2cv floors and bulkhead...

Expensive but if it works worth every penny

I do hate frosts...

I ordered some zinga to do the c90 rear arch as its rusting. So want to nip it in the bud
