Zinc phosphate vs. gilded surface
We have to re-gild an outdoor sculpture. What about the adhesion (bonding) of zinc phosphate primer
[on
eBay or
Amazon] on a gilded (gold leaves) surface?

Zinc phosphating is not suitable for gold surfaces. It will have poor adhesion.It is only suitable for iron surfaces.
