About 15 years ago I bought a new shorty 32 pick up box from Mack's products in Missouri. I'm just getting around to painting it. (No one can say I rush into things!! )
It was manufactured using sheet metal with what appears to have some kind of coating. It's not galvanized but it is silver and it has not rusted in all this time. I think it came with a spec sheet/instructions that detailed what kind of paint to use. Can I find it ? NOOO !!
So I am asking for help.....does any one remember this type of metal and what kind of primer/paint to use on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Phil
