Painting / zinc coating wishbones'd (MX5 content).
Discussion
What's the best / most cost effective product to use for these?
I've considered POR15/Hammerite etc, however the lower wishbones on an MX5 are hollow and I can't see how I'd get the paint in there with complete coverage, (the bones have holes underneath presumable for drainage & weight reasons).
I've removed all the rust from them via the magic process of Elctroloysis. This process piqued my curiosity of zinc coating them via a similar process, but from reading up I think need to get the metal shiny before I can dip them in the solution, again if this is the case I've no way of getting the insides of the bones shiny clean.
Does the metal need to be shiny for the process to work properly?
Any other ideas? I've little interest in paying someone else to do the job, so DIY suggestions only please
Many thanks
