I found this when stripping the sound deadener off my floor board. Does this hazy gray coating look like some kind of rust preventative. This floor pan is original by the way.

Yeah I found the same stuff.....I think its just the primer/ etch primer. Galvanizing is an electroplating of zinc and galvanized steel just looks kinda metaly.
