will to have the entire frame hot dipped galvanized. The inside will be
protected many times better than an attempt at painting. As far as the
outside goes you can just paint it for cosmetic purposes as the galvanizing
will do the rest. >>
Do you have a source for hot dip galvanizing someting as large as a TR frame
at any kind of price that would make it practical? I'd expect the very few
facilities in the country that could conceivably do this would be doing
long-run production, and even if one had an "in" with such a company, the
price would be a couple of thousand dollars at least!!
