Its basically a too stage process which is applied to bare metal. First you spray on the zinc primer which is zinc suspended in a paint which forms a chemical bond with the metal. So its a chemical equivalent to galvanising without the heat issues. Then you coat it with the Amercoat which is a clear spray on polymer paint which is corrosion,chemical and fire resistant. Moderately expensive but hyper effective. Simples!!!

Good to hear you've got plenty of time left to want to throw spanners at me for asking so many questions :yesnod:

that sounds worth the expense mind, so the underling metal is essentially protected twice? by a layer of zinc and by the paint?

and I'm guessing the paint is extremely chip resistant as it's polymer?

You can take a hammer to it and not chip it
