Default Re: Steel chassis resto How to ?

I'm not aware of any steel chassis being galvanised. My interest and experience is in military equipment, where the chassis were usually electroplated zinc, maybe sometimes cadmium. Modern zinc plating uses 'brighteners', so doesn't replicate the grey appearance of old. A suitable grey paint can be successfully used after cleaning off any rusty patches.
