Re-galvanized mine by a large commercial outfit. Results were bad. First off, the re-galvanize is different than the original. Second- it comes out spotty, uneven, ugly. This is because, as I learned, over time the shields are exposed to various elements- dirt, oil, salt, rocks, weather- which basically "stains" the metal so that re-galvanizing them will not come out evenly, the "stains" show through, do not permit even plating. Bead blasting the parts ahead did not completely fix this. I ended up painting mine a similar color to the original galvanize.
