anyone know where to buy TRUE zinc chromte in a spray can??

Try a marine store... the last time I saw a can was in a boat dealership. Not sure if maybe the EPA has killed real chromate... not a real environmentally friendly product.

Aircraft Spruce sells it. Or you can get it at most aircraft supply shops.

Chromate is still out there...and is still being used in paint...but I agreee...the EPA is "cracking down" on heavy metals in paints...and it will...I am sure in the future... become harder for a person who is not registered with the EPA to buy these products....and use them.

Kinda like I wish I'd bought several more cases of R-12 -When it was $1.77 a can at K-Mart

....Guess what I see in my Chrystal Ball ???

I would go to an aircraft parts place. It is slowly being replaced by Zinc Phosphate which achieves the same protection.

i use gray spi. it changes color when you sand. it has a gloss and the gloss works as a guide coat.
