Sorry I don't have installed pictures of the zinc plated wishbones.
The zinc finish is not very durable if used in all weathers on a road car although you could probably clear coat them.
I have used nickel plating on wishbones and this looks a lot better.

thats a good advice with the clear coat...as nickel-plating is very expensive over here...and there isnt any company locally doing it...

brought them today to my local body and spray shop....due to some corrosion underneath the oiriginal (crappy) manufacturer powdercoat the corrosion
needs to be removed before any further treatment.
as shot blasting (whatever type is used) will result in a rough surface the parts would be too rough for getting a visually nice passivated
surface....
so i decided now for powdercoat, only the screwed in wishbone eylets, some small brakcets, all bolts and washers will get passivated.
