That's a big part of getting paint to stick to galv, short of leaving it outside for a couple of years. I used it, followed up with POR15 metal prep and then POR15 black and its held up to everything other than a slip with the grinder. I used the Bolt Hamber etchweld stuff in a tin. I think I probably didn't clean the chassis enough before starting so lesson learned there. When it comes time to do the bulkhead the new one will be hung outside on the crane and washed repeatedly before I start to paint it.
