Gavin.- You must coat the 4130 steel because it will rust otherwise. (It loves to rust). You also want to firmly attatch the WAFs in place. Never trust "Paint and epoxy to stick together. Prime the 4130 with Epoxy primer (green in color) , then your flox or fibreglass or whatever will adhere to it. The automotive trade is now using an excellect epoxy primer containing zinc chromate .Most Auto paints adhere well to the epoxy primer (catalysed urethanes).
