Vrishali, at this time I do not feel you can obtain more than maybe 48 hrs. salt spray ( ASTM B117 [affil link] ). No matter what thickness zinc.

Dear Vrishali, SS hours can be increased only if you use water based lacquers available through GW or other suppliers. Alternatively think about alloy plating. regards.

Dear Vrishali, for enhancing SS life for Blue passivation,you can use trivalent chrome passivation with Top coat.Which will enhance your salt spray life upto 72 hrs.
