Try a marine store... the last time I saw a can was in a boat dealership. Not sure if maybe the EPA has killed real chromate... not a real environmentally friendly product.

Zinc Chromate

Aircraft Spruce sells it. Or you can get it at most aircraft supply shops.

Chromate is still out there...and is still being used in paint...but I agreee...the EPA is "cracking down" on heavy metals in paints...and it will...I am sure in the future... become harder for a person who is not registered with the EPA to buy these products....and use them.

I would go to an aircraft parts place. It is slowly being replaced by Zinc Phosphate which achieves the same protection.
