Plating of G2 cast iron (Connecticut)

2002

My application is rack plated... alk. zinc with trivalent chromate conversion coating. My question is can the plater plate the G2 cast iron base material directly or does he need to put a strike layer... what kind of strike if needed... nickel or cyanide copper? Thanks
