<font color="blue"> It's hard to get paint to stick to galv for any length of time --- unless you prep the !@#$% out of it </font color>

I've never tried this, don't know if it works, nor how long it lasts.

A neighboring development required vinyl-coated chain link fencing to make it blend in with the surrounding desert. One guy didn't do that, used regular galvanized, and was able to "fix" it by first spritzing it with vinegar to knock off the galvanized coating, then spraying it beige.

The vinegar spraying sounded like a fairly easy way to prep.
