Electroplate or Primer Paints
Electroplate or Primer Paints
(OP)
I wanted to have a galvanized finished in our mounting plates to be used for certain structures. Due to some time constraints, we are considering to just have it electroplated, but there is a suggestion that instead of electroplating, why not just use primer paints.
May i ask your opinion about it? thanks.

Second place would be thermal spray (metallizing) with the clear sealer.
Third place would be a true high-ratio inorganic zinc (IOZ) coating, often sold as a primer. Unlike most primers, it does just fine with no topcoat.
Electroplating just sucks for outdoor exposure if you want durability. The electroplater will try to give you 5-10 microns of zinc thickness, and it is a lot more porous than hot-dip.
