Go to google type moisture meters and you will find thousands and thousands of meters to measure moisture on any surfaces

Not sure about that, but if you put Fluid Film on the metal surface it would be easier the measure it because the moisture would bead up on the Fluid Film and NOT penetrate the metal!!

If you are looking for total moisture just do a simple measurement of weight then dry and reweigh. If you specifically want surface moisture, assuming a flat reflective surface, there are numerous optical systems capable of the measurement.

The problem is that we are all trying to fill in the missing information in the questioners' question....

I don't think there is an answer until the question is defined.
