Default Really stupid question...Is the hood on my ef steel or aluminum?

Just like the title says. Part of my hood is stripped down to metal and I don't have an epoxy, only primer. I know I need epoxy (at least for the brand I am using) if it is down to bare metal if the hood is aluminum, but I will be ok without epoxy if it is metal (steel). Thanks

Stick a magnet on it and find out.
