Galvanize steel may be coated to decorate the piece or to enhance the protection afforded by the galvanizing. However, these coating often fail because pretreatment and coating applications were performed as if steel, not zinc, was being coated. This article explains how galvanizing protects steel, how organic coating can protect or reinforce galvanizing, and how to pretreat and coat newly galvanized steel for optimal corrosion resistance.
