Hi, Avinash. I'm not sure what your question is but, yes, the parts are defective and you must get the supplier to fix the process or find a new supplier.

Hello Avinash,
You need to specify zinc-iron plating instead of zinc plating with black passivation. This is a far superior coating although not bright and glossy and zinc with black.
A still better alternative will be Geomet coating with a black topcoat which will outlast the life of your product without corrosion.
