Galvanised is usually hot zinc dipped carbon steel - anodised is aluminium thats been electrostatically coated to arrest the oxidation process.

Yep you can paint galvanised metal - any decent paint system for metal should be OK

Galvanized is a zinc plating or coating that is applied to ferrous (steel, iron) materials to inhibit oxidation. It can be applied many ways, either electrogalvanization, or hot dipped (literally dipped into a vat of molten zinc). For painting:

Anodizing is a process of electrolytic passivation where the surface of aluminum is artificially oxidized to provide better corrosion and wear resistance or for cosmetic purposes

I ought to add that this will be my second erection in a month ......... I just had one put on our terrace as well, and that one can be made bigger and smaller by just pulling on a cord.

You would probably have to paint it with something like Hammerite mate.

Only problem is it's only available in a limited number of colours.

its great mate, lovely chilled peeps, all relaxed, just what we needed....


and we killed a sheep last night and bbq'd it, so I feel at home.....



Hows you then butt munch?

Hammerite limited? There's another range of hammerite look alikes and both have a range of colours, plus I don't suppose there's any bar to mixing colours and creating your own palette!

As to painting galvo, the only knowledge that I have to hand is the memory of someone telling me that fresh galvo is a b*gger to paint, old is easier. I would certainly check up carefully as if you don't you may well find that it doesn't adhere well. Abrading/sanding the surface lightly was also recommended to me.

As I understand it - degreasing is the key - well for hot dipped stuff anyway. I'll stick with what I said a decent metal paint system will be OK.
