rustproofing a pegasus seat base

[dave wheeler]

was quite horrified to see how rusty my seat base was when i took the cover off, it had previously been blasted and stoved, can anyone suggest the maximum protection i can give it for the maximum length of time

Hi.I would get it acid dipped then zinc plated..etch primer then black two pack paint with a mist of clear wax oil to protect it once painted.

Get it powder coated

Blast it
Bright zinc plate it
Then polyester powder coat it.

I thought of having my seat base blasted / zinc plated and powder coated but then cleaned the seat base properly an just covered with Owatrol/Waxyoil. Came out quite good.

Worth a try before spending cash.

One chip with powder coat the water gets under it as there's no etch onto the metal like spray etch painting

Hence the BZP first !

Water will get under powder coat quicker than under spray etch primer,this suggests that two pack is a better method.
