Painting galvanized

I got a lot of steel panels, and constructed a large (32' x 40') structure out of two 40' containers. *I used a lot of painted Fabral MightyRib panels, but had to use some galvanized ones, because I got a killer deal on them. Now it is time to paint the whole thing. *For the galvanized, what is the best way to prep the surfaces so the paint will stick? *We get blazing hot temperatures in the summer, upwards of 150 degrees surface temperature, 110 plus air temps, and 130 plus inside the containers. *Winters bring weather in the 20-40 degree night time temps. A friend of mine a long time ago, who was a professional painter, used some common vinegar to paint some for me similar to these. *It was for a commercial job, and I never did go back and look at how it aged. *I never got a call from the company that there was anything wrong with them, so just plain don't know if they did good or not. Besides vinegar, is there any other treatments? *Estimated 150 square feet, uneven vertical surface. Thanks. Steve http://www.galvanizeit.org/about-hot...vanized-steel/ |
