Welcome to Geekhack!

I don't know about a full set, but you just missed a 37 set on Massdrop: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/zinc-silver-tone-37-keyset?mode=guest_open

However this post might make you change your mind: http://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1jnbsr/why_i_wouldnt_recommend_zinc_key_caps_photos/

I guess if I want something like that, I would just use it as a display keyboard and not use at all.
But then why would...I....ah never mind...I dont know..

That's a bummer about those zinc caps fading out like that.  I always assumed they were solid zinc, not zinc coated.  I wonder how aluminum would wear.
