mordant solution-zinc plumbate primer-dulux metalshield.
supposedly good for 10 years.i have just stripped by hand back to the galvanising a load of crittall windows and i'll be doing the above but probably use white vinegar as a degrease/mordant as i was careful not to make the galvanising shiny and its been bare for a few weeks so starting to dull and form new oxide coating.
i found a slightly dulled scraper 'walked' up the surface rather than chiseled was was the best method to remove most of the paint then a scotchbrite to remove the remaining flakes.

I have a galvanized steel (I think) post, essentially a scaffold pole, holding the concrete porch/lintel above the front door up which needs repainting - what is my best bet for getting something to stick and stay on for @ 5 years + please?
