Cold galvanising is used more often as a repair to existing galvanised coatings. It comes in aerosols, some are a single application, some are a two part process. First the base coat is applied which is normally a paint which has a very high zinc content, then a top coat is applied, containing aluminium which recreates the shiny surface of the original surface.

It is a good idea to clean the metal that is to be painted by using a clean rag and some of the thinners for that particular type of paint, this will remove and surface dust or grease and will ensure that the paint sticks well to the metal.

As you get to the opposite side release the nozzle. This will prevent a build up of paint on the edges causing runs. If it’s a piece with many internal corners it’s a good idea to put some paint in all the corners first, again, that will reduce the chance of runs.
