This is my mod now. I call him.....\\THE TROOPER\\Hehe, just sanded it off, didn't apply any protection so it will most likely rust at some point. It's really a cheap mod and I really feel like not spending any more time on making it look pretty. On the other hand it is my daily driver so...I used sandpaper with different grits and I could probably get some super fine grit to give it a mirror finish, but for now - it's good enough ;) thanks for all the replies and advises.P.S. It's so much colder now and ... winter is coming.
I buffed my black one to a high polished chrome like finish.
Problem with zinc, it will tarnish within a few days and will need to be polished again and again.
If you try to clear coat or urathane it, it will also not dry/ adhere correctly.
Best thing is silicon sleeve from the get go.
Oh and putting a silicone sleeve directly over the zinc will make the silicone sleeve leave a slightly gummy mess on your mod.
I will try later to post pics to show what I mean.
