I believe that type of painting is called, in the painting trade, "DTM", meaning "direct-to-metal". If the metal is newly finished, dry and clean, the paint adheres relatively well enough.

That is correct. We used DTM paint on some cabooses that we painted. It was a very ugly color brown. The railroad must have gotten a good deal on some 55 gallon drums of it that they bought, lol.
