Zinc plating suspension parts

Post by autobody »

Hi all. I got myself a new project and the car will come with ALL suspension parts apart and zinc plated, including the nuts bolts. So will be building it all back up soon.

But before I do. I was thinking to get some of the parts powder coated black (on top of the zinc) but wondering if it's best to leave them as they are. But not sure if zinc coating is best for suspension item, will it wear and will it last.

Also not sure if it will look right, but it's not something visible really. What would you do?
