727 Transmission Inspection Cover - Looking to replicate the original Galvanized plating

[robl72]

Hi,

Just curious does anyone have a good contact for shop that will re-plate my 727 Transmission cover to the original Flake type galvanized coating. I have attached a pic of an original so you know what type of coating I am looking for.

Thank you!

Best I can advise. Not possible. the pieces were galvanized BEFORE they were stamped. And I dont think the processes avail today produce the same effect
One is hot dipped galvanized the other is a cold dipped process.

Look for the cleanest one they can find and clean it up. Just another part that makes full on OE a daunting task

WTBuy for one in the same shape as your picture! They're out there... the one I picked up for the Wife's 340 Swinger prior to a good clean up.

This is one of the repops avail today, As you can see the finish is all wrong for a true OE level car. But this is all thats avail today as far as I know

Wow… I guess mine is not that bad then.. I was trying to make it perfect by getting it re-plated

Here is a pic of mine after a matte clear coat.., not sure if it was the right thing to do but it made it look a lot better.. that first pic I posted is not mine by the way.
