I might recommend zinc chromate primer, if I thought you could find
any. They eliminated using zinc chromate primer where I use to work
about 15 years ago as the chromate is hazardous to your health. This
is not to say that you can not find ZCP, but it will not be easy.

Oops! Apparently I've been "out of the loop" too long.

Thanks for the heads up!
