Bare metal zinc wash?

[2kids]

I seem to remember reading something about putting some kind of zinc based liquid on bare metal to help protect it - can anyone help?

Thanks!

you could just have it zinc plated, its much cheaper than chrome too.

Any zinc based primer will be good.

ospho put it on bare sheet metal to keep it from rusting before its primed
