Zinc Coating on new fender - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

skokie · 02-09-2007, 01:50 AM

I bought a new fender for my 68 and it has a zinc coating. I was thinking about taking it to a body shop and have it sprayed with something to seal it. So I call around to 2 shops and tell them what I have and I get 2 different answers.

1st answer: Its zinc coated? No need to do anything with that. Just put it on there it wont rust.
2nd answer: Its zinc coated. Well you can brink it down and we can spray it with a primer/sealer (cant remember exactly word for word) and clear coat it.

So heres the question. Do I need to go with the 2nd answer or the 1st?

Thanks
