    Zinc phosphate is a metal primer, save it for bare metal. Primer over bare needs sealing. Layers have purpose based on order of application. We were all beginners at one time. But never be afraid to ask for advice. There are many threads on using Home Depot Behr, a month's worth of...

    Rusty primer over bare metal, then high build primer-sealer over all. Mist coat with flat black spray paint, not enough to cover, just a dusting. Then sand with 180 grit with orbital sander until scratches are gone. It is now ready for final finish. Washing between sanding will show...

    As this is a 1031 SECM, the filler neck options are wide. No need for a locking fuel cap with the filler neck behind door #1 ( the generator control panel door). I get lots of looks whenever filling as the control panel is quite busy with 5 circuit breakers and switches, two gauges/meters...
