Metal finishing Q&As since 1989

Using magnets to improve paint adhesion to sheet metal

We have obtained an old (antique) metal storage cabinet and would like to have it repainted. We understand there is a technique out where you use a magnet on the inside of the cabinet to aid in the new paint adhering to the metal on the exterior of the cabinet. Can anyone suggest where I can get more information on this technique?

How did you come to that understanding, Delois? I've never heard of it and tend to doubt its validity.
