    I have a shed in the garden that is completely made of galvanized sheets of metal. The problem is they are all different color sheets, red and green.

    I am looking for advice on what paint I can get to paint it all the one color? I was looking in woodies an all I can seem to see is a white paints that says it can be used on all surfaces.

    Also you may need to do some prepping before painting

    Galvogrip is a paint ive seen specified for this. Its got its own primer. Its €50 for a 5l drum.

    Galvanised metals biggest problem is getting a good adhesion, it would need to be cleaned very thoroughly before you paint on anything.

    Any Zinc Phosphate primer and a gloss alkyd topcoat will also do.
