Zinc chromate is the recommended tie coat between a galvanized surface and top coat. I did not recommend this to Naio because she will not be handling the part.
You are dealing with inevitable oxidation of zinc.
Cleaning off oxides in preparation to use adhesive is a chore. Chris Bryant's excellent suggestion can be tested by applying a swatch. Do not stick all of the liner hard and fast. Press half like a permanent application then yank on the free half and see if that peels off the pressed-on half too easy.
School of hard knocks with my Vest Frosts. BTW cheap liners are worth less than they cost. Those that use 3M adhesive are better.
