Default Zinc plating

Can anyone give me an idea of what zinc plating on a smooth part looks like? Pictures, descriptions, etc. Also, how does it look in comparison to chrome?

I'm trying to decide on what to have done with some bolts for the TA, and trying to find out how they would look with zinc plating vs chrome.

Go to Home Depot to the nuts/bolts aisle and grab a handful of bolts that are bright silver. Zinc plated.

A fellow car club member of mine recently had the hood hinges on his '80 Turbo T/A zinc plated. They look fantastic, and that was on a hinge! Something like $10 bucks each too to plate them!
