Need E-Coat standard for automotive brackets
I have been assigned the task to add an E-Coat spec to some cold rolled brackets that we will supply for the Automotive market. These will be stamped 1/4" brackets that will need to be corrosion resistant and Black. Were would I find such a spec..? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Usually, these specifications are set by the customer. Depending on where this bracket goes, there may be a specific specification (there's a phrase!) for it. I know that GM/Chrysler/Ford usually have specs. for various applications. Try looking for those. I used to just ask my customer which spec. they were looking at. That'll give you a starting point.
