A. Dear Manish,

The reasons I can think of:

1. Raw material porosity hence spotting.
2. Better washing/ rinsing of parts is required between plating and passivation.

A. White Spots in Acid Zinc are due to metallic impurities in solution. Please treat with H2O2 or zinc dust ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] treatments. This will solve the problem.
