I have started to take off my baggage doors (not basement type) so I can do a proper paint job on the bottom of our 1990 Champion Lasallle motorhome. The bottom sides are galvanized metal except where...
They make primers specifically formulated to adhere to galvanized metal. CLEANING the metal of all dirt and oils is the most important and sometimes, after it is cleaned, allowing it to weather(dull) somewhat will also help the adhesion process. Since they have products designed to prime galvanized metal, I would not use vinegar as a substitute.
