I picked up the can of Zinc/Galvanized Metal Primer Paint this morning.
It is an interesting cream white flat primer, which looks a little odd initially, but makes sense to have it visually different from the normal red and grey metal priming paints. No mistakes unless you are colour blind.
I wrapped the tip of a bamboo chop stick and a similar length of 7/16-inch dowel with some masking tape and they both held the two handles perfectly. A couple of correspondingly sized holes drilled in a block of 4 x 4 post and an drying stand was all ready to go.
Both the Handles No. 72 and Handles No. 80 for the FREQUENCY MC Dial Assembly have now been primed with this Zinc friendly paint. 24 hours from now I can give them a base coat of grey and, with luck, by the weekend they will get their coat of Gloss Navy Grey.
