That you paint galvanised with to make color paint stick properly, acid stuff turns silver galv black? For painting tilt sticks black.

No, not even red oxide or zinc phosphate primers will cover new galv properly!

Think if its a paint you are after it may be called an "etch primer" but not certain. As i said where i work they use a solution to wash down the galv prior to painting ;)
