Subject:Round Headlight Buckets: Galvanized Steel?
From:neil n

Seems they are. Yes? No?

Got 2 that may be worth saving for any future projects. They have surface rust.

I have Plastikote lacquer based self etching primer.

Anyone used this type of primer on galvanize steel with long term success?

No point in covering the rust I can't remove if the paint's going to
bubble, break and let moisture in.

Thanks,

Neil.
