ZRC 10003 Cold Galvanizing Compound | Single Gallon | Iron and Steel Corrosion Protection | Matches Hot-Dip Galvanized Performance | Contains 95-Percent Metallic Zinc

This product works great. Probably the heaviest gallon of paint I've ever picked up. So you get what you pay for. Very thick paint that goes on easily and covers very well. It did require 2 coats to be sufficient on bare steel I used it for. But that was manufacturer recommendations also. There is only 1 complaint I have about the paint is that after it dries the final color is not that of new galvanizing. It's the color and finish of galvanizing that's been weathered for a couple of years. A flat gray color instead of a medium gloss silver/gray appearance. My customer loves the look so it worked out for me. Just be aware of that if your looking for a product that looks like it's been hot dipped galvanized that's not what this paint will give.

We just revitalize, 3000 ft.² of corrugated sheet metal.We remove the rust mechanically and then put two coats of this on it.It works very nicely.The finish when it dries is more of a flat silver, not shiny at all. Coverage is very close to what the manufacturer says with two coats, especially if it’s not too hot the surface do you put it on.

I used the opportunity to recoat the galvanized steel walls of my 33-year-old vinyl liner pool since we are replacing the liner. I was pleased with the results. Be aware that this product takes a very long time to stir and get the settled zinc into suspension... 20 minutes for the one-gallon can I purchased. I knocked my rating down one star because the product did not cover at the stated rate. I had to purchase another quart to finish the job. I suspect two reasons: 1) It does not cover as much area with a brush, which I used to cut in around the edges and recoat the steel steps. 2) I noticed the product thickening about halfway through the job, probably the result of the vehicle evaporating (it was 78 and sunny). Looking back, I should have thinned it when I noticed this problem.

As bes as I could possibly mix the coating, it still felt chunky and thick at the bottom and watery at the top of the can. Upon applying it to my truck frame it was watery and thin an you could still see the substrate underneath through the coating, does not appear to have enough thickness to sufficiently protect the bare metal it went over.

For years, I had been touching up the top rails and posts on my chain link fence with zinc spray. This has been an Excellent solution for a 30 year old fence (compared to the neighbors'), but the zinc was wearing through on the chain link itself and spray was Not-A-Solution. After considering the problem, the gallon of zinc paint combined with a 9" paint roller with 1/2" nap was the Fix!. The best direction (for best coverage) is the "rough roll," to say hit the 'peaks and troughs' on both sides. The work goes quickly. I did 500' of fenceline, both sides, in two days (in the cooler portion of the morning). Be aware that 'zinc is heavy,' and the roller will not want to cooperate in the paint tray. The paint goes a LONG way through. In 2021 dollars, $170 to re-coat 500 feet of chain link INSTEAD OF replacing it...PRICELESS!

good product highly recommended 👌

Touched up a grain bin roof with this paint. Covered well, matched the galvanized metal well.

Good coverage. I just hope that the rock hard 2" at the bottom of the gallon didn't contain all of the zinc.
