Observe that thin plates will warp with warm galvanising.

Rarely do I venture in to the world of 4x4's but having started work at a well known 4x4 specialist, I thought I'd poke around here. :thumbup1:

Is it possible to powdercoat galvanized steel parts to maximise corrosion resistance and have something that looks good?

Hi Steve, yes it is
I've had a number of chassis galv'd & powder coated, though I prefer to get Items in impact or high wear areas like bumpers and steps plastic coated.
loads of parts on my 90 are galv'd & a mix or powder & plastic coated.

I did a 90 chassis in galv & gloss black plastic coat for a friend 2yrs ago and a wipe over with a damp cloth makes it looks like new.

As with all painting, surface prep is key to getting a good finish with powder coating over HDG, but basically you should powder coat asap after the surface prep before zinc oxidation sets in.
