Kirk, don't I have to repaint it to protect the metal?

Avert your eyes. *G* It ain't pretty.

I let the swamp cooler go to pot. I thought I'd cleaned it up, but
instead I made it worse.

In summer I pulled the removeable panels off the swamp cooler, removed
the flaked paint with a brillo pad (or somesuch device) intending to
remove the batting and repaint. But when looking at the batting there
didn't seem to be any way to remove it. So I put the project on hold
until I could get to it, and this is what's the swamp cooler is like 5-6
months later.

Over the next few inages I'll show you what I mean. There is corrosion
and some sort of white buildup, which I think is what happens when the
zinc metal is exposed to the air/water/weather.
