Does anyone know of an inexpensive way to zinc plate metal parts?
I feel like I asked this once before but I don't care to search.

Yellow Zinc Plating
I am de-rusting the rear diff and I need to put it back together some time. But I dipped most of the stuff in Evaporust and the Zinc plating that was once on there is now gone.

A local shop quoted me $200 at least!
CAD is now illegal but it lasts so much longer because of its durability.

Sounds like its time to remove and replace the quote.
