They were actually <i>galvanealed</i>, which means the sheet metal stock the panels were pressed from was manufactured with a thin zinc coating (microns thick). Hence areas such as the edge of panels etc where they were pressed from the sheet are theoretically more vulnerable, such as panel edges around the light apetures etc.

No the process Peugeot used at the time isnt that one.
The whole 405 body shell when assembled was first cleaned in an acid bath & then after some water rinses was dipped in a tank of molton Zinc & an electrical current is used to stick the thin layer of Zinc to the body shell.
Now its cheaper to buy rolls of steel already galvenised & punch the shapes out of that.
