Cold Black Oxide on Galvanized Steel [Florida]

++ I'd like to know if it is feasible to apply cold Black Oxide treatment to galvanized steel without pre-treatment, or would I have to strip the zinc coating first. I'd like to blacken some wearable chainmail items which are constructed of galvanized steel wire rings. Thanks, Wayne Seguin - Boca Raton, FL, USA +++++ HOW TO DARKEN GALVANIZED? I'm making a Chainmaille shirt but I want to know if darkening it will work. If it does work how would I go about doing it? Please be specific :)) nothing worse than me confused.. Tanks! alot!
