Painting galvanized steel quickly

- We use metal in so many places, in textures, in architecture, in design, in science fiction, in Middle Ages lore, even as jewelry. It's worth then knowing how to make some metals quickly and how to generate as much texture as you need for commonplace things. I'm going to start with some galvanized steel. This is a material that we find in all kinds of applications. As we can see here in a quick search, we find it in roofs, on pipes, on beams, in structural applications, and in finished applications. Its use is only limited by our imagination. So it's a good thing to have on hand. The idea in galvanized steel is we're going to take, well, steel and galvanize it, coat it in zinc or something else that won't rust. And there's two ways to do this. We can either hot dip or electroplate. Most of what we see out there is hot-dipped, where we take our steel, and we dunk it in a vat of zinc and other metals, basically, and galvanize it so it's more corrosion-resistant. What we can see then…
