Letter 1141

---

We have a client with a building sided with galvanized steel. It is too shiney and I'm hoping to "age" it artificially.

I realize this is contrary to your aims as finishers, but do appreciate any help you might offer.

thanx

The booklet "Painting Galvanized Steel Structures", available from AGA (http://www.galvanizeit.org/publications/publications.htm) will answer your question I think. Single copies are free, I understand.

Did question #1141 about aging shiny Galvanized steel get a solution to his problem. I downloaded the texts suggested and found no answer as to how to age Galvanized. I want a dull finish. Any suggestions?
