Re: 55-59 experts
I have the original and another I got that had better cross braces. Both were just primed and painted metal. Maybe a supplier on one of the coasts did it as a matter of habit to combat long term corrosion??

Re: 55-59 experts
its a zinc phosphate coating they put on the bare metal after stamping so it doesn't flash over before painting
