Hat's off to members 72K5CSTDarkOlive and Ironcanine for calling my attention to this process, which restores the original finish. Thank you!

Wow is right, that looks awesome. I was thinking about the possibility of having the struts re-zinc plated. I was thinking it would be too costly. What process did you have them use? Cold dipped, hot dipped? Anything special needing to be done before dropping off? There are some springs within the struts, I found out the hard way, when I gave them a rust removing acid bath (springs are destroyed but the struts seem to still work). Give us some direction, we would love to have this done!
