: Primer before powder coating?

Hi guys,

My local powder coater says that they use a zinc primer on all parts before they powder coat. I have been blasting parts at home over the last couple of weekends. I'm going to powder coat all brackets, core support, rear end ect.. Even though I've been storing the bare blasted parts inside the house in a spare bedroom they are still starting to rust a little. Is there a primer (like the Zinc primer Eastwood sells) that I can use at home to seal my blasted parts? I want to take a truck load to the PC'ers at once to save some $$$.

Thanks as always!

I would spray down the freshly blasted parts with some WD40. The company that I use for powder coating always gives the parts a degreasing wash before the zinc wash.
