Tom, I used zinc chromate, but there is an alternative, zinc oxide that doesn't cause cancer in rats in California.
Zinc Oxide
I had bad luck with aerosol cans, they would clog if unused. I finally bought a quart can of zinc chromate and thin with acetone if it has been sitting for any length of time.

Tom, I started with zinc oxide but due the constant clogging I switched to using a self-etching aerosol primer and have used it with great success for priming the mating surfaces.
