Dunno if they say that because most metal primers don't work worth a darn on galvanized surfaces - or for some other reason (liability re.???)

Anyway, I found some acrylic-based primer intended for aluminum and galvanized surfaces. Not too expensive really. I used it on stainless trim on my car with excellent results - about two years later and the topcoat is still there, with the primer hidden below. Probably available in your local stores. It's white.

Driving Lean Burn '97 Civic HX, lotsa mods by now! '89 Volvo 240 is semi-retired. I did love that car though!
