"Paint Grip" Steel

I like to use "Paint Grip" steel, which is a galvanized steel that's been submerged in a phosphate bath. The metal is designed to receive paint, which is one of the reasons why I chose it. The other reason is that my first choice was zinc, but it turned out to be too cost-prohibitive.
