Now that it's gone grey the surface should be stable. Get some advice from an expert and use the right product because the wrong product over galvanising or any product applied too soon after newly galvanising will peel off. --- End quote --- I was told at the time of getting things galvanised that to keep it that way should coat every bit in matt / satin laquer but someone else (as you have just pointed out) said paint would peel off in notime so I didnt. :doh: |

Maybe paint the exposed areas with something that looks like galvanising? |
