Are the tail, reverse and park housings made of galvanized steel?

I was searching for paint ideas for the housings and came across a thread about how you should protect yourself (e.g., use a respirator) when sanding galvanized steel.........Just curious if I'm going to die is all.............JK.......I did sand one, but was wearing nuisance mask, for whatever it's worth.

Thanks
