[Fot] Speaking of Alley Engine Plates

[Alexandre Camoletti]

Yes, get some of them, because in europe they no longer sell these anymore,
due to environmental laws. We used to have chromate primers as etch primers
for steel as well, but forbidden also. And the new eco friendly replacement
are nowhere as good (engineers from Dupont told me).
As I realise now these are still avail in the US, will get some!
Cheers!
Alex

The  undercoating for aluminum is Zinc Chromate. Check your  paint store.
It
is a olive drab in color. That is the same stuff used in  most aircraft and
so prevalent in Army and Air Force  parts.
