[Fot] Speaking of Alley Engine Plates

[Robert Deanes]

I also us Zinc Chromate and then use the color that I do the engine in and
it all blends in, alittle lighter all ways helps and nobody knows but me, on
the coast we use  Zinc Chromate on alot of things that take salt, corrosion
and oil abuse ,haven't had any problems with the paint coming off.
