Works reasonably well, usually needs to be re-applied after 2 or 3 years. Dull gray finish is a decent match to a galvanized finish that has been in the weather a while, not so well to to the shiny silver appearance coming out of the factory.

Painted my trailer fenders, which were galvinized with surface rust, and spotted other rusty spots. Its been 6- months and rust hasn`t come back, Did no prep work whatsoever, just pointed can and covered surface rust. Rich

As mentioned above the cold galvanized looks like gray primer paint. It is my opinion that the paint protects as well as the cold galvanized.

You're right bake, it does look like it's galvanized. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker
