project: galvanizing

{my heavy metal}

Galvanized metal is a small layer of zinc deposit on the surface of an item that prevents the steel from rusting. It was originally an industrial application for coating utilitarian items, to prevent metal from corroding basically. Nowadays galvanized items bring a French country, industrial, farmhouse, antique, primitive, and sometimes coastal look to home décor. There are many items you can give a galvanized paint treatment to like: planters, light fixtures, chairs, cabinets, and so much more! Now, let's have a look at these bloggers posts on galvanizing:
