Benno,
Paul is right on the money about the alodine. What you ideally want to do is
remove the parts from the car and have them glass bead blasted so they are
completely free of any paint. Next take them to your local plating shop and
tell them you want to have them alodine the parts for you, there will be a
lot charge but you shouldn't have to pay more than $50.00 for them to do it.
It is a short process and if your nice to the guy he may do it while you
wait it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes or so. Keep in mind he may be
busy so you may have to leave the parts, because he isn't going to make his
high volume customers wait. All that being said the etch was is just the
plater dipping your parts in Caustic and rinsing with water before plating
and should be included in the price. You will probably have a real problem
finding Zinc Chromate primer, so just use regular primer and a high quality
paint and you should be okay.
