And if they are bare metal, priming with regular primer won't do much good.
Use a good urethane primer which resists moisture.

I've had a set of new fenders for my TR6 for more than 10 years now. 
I've had them outside for a year, inside for most of that time. Cover 
them so they stay dry and dust free, and you should have no problems 
unless they're bare metal.
