[TheForge] searching for black-galvanized chain

I am doing a repair job on a local, old cemetery. The
commission wants me to run very rust-resistant chain
between granite posts. The chain will be 3/8" stock,
250' long. So the question is...

I was hoping to find a place that sells
black-galvanized chain but was unable to find any via
the web. I called local galvanizers but the cost was
going to be very expensive. So does anyone know where
I can get "pre-made" black galvanized chain?

If I cant find anyplace, I plan on using regular
silver-galvanized and dye it with "Triblack G" which
is designed to patina galvanize black. Does anyone
have good/bad experience with this stuff?

Alternately if I could find some plastic coated stuff
like McMaster-Carr sells in black (all they have is
green) that would probably work too.


Thanks alot for your help,
Brian
