[TheForge] Black finish for galvanized

[Kevin Donahoe]

Rick,

That website is Beach Island Group... is that who you're doing the work for
or supposed to be the galvanizer?

Really nice spread in the AR, congratulations.  I forget, do you have a
website featuring your work?

Kevin

 Andy, its not too late but there's not enough budget to begin
 to consider stainless.  Also, I found a large and reputable
 plater out here, Duncan Group, who have a stain after galv.
 I talked with them today.  It is only recommended in parking
 garages and other non-critical areas as it is not
 particularly attactive.  They have tried it on several
 residential projects and have had to bead blast it off to
 satisfy the customers.  It sounds like is is a thin stain and
 not a chemical that reacts with the zink.

 They do have several paint coatings that they have engineered
 for coating over galvanized, including acrylic, polyutethane
 and a hard and soft powder coat.  They apply and warranty.
 Some good info on their website: duncangroup.com, I think.
