I think so.

Brite-Zinc seems to me like an anti-rust paint, for protection. Usually on 
steel.
Urethane aliphatic enamel is a synthetic cover to give an extra protection 
layer on the top of the zinc.

Professional towers are like that, hot dip galvanizing, then several layers of 
that urethane paint.
That procedure gives you years and years of protection.


Kind of like chromate primer on aircraft


or, for that matter, the treatment on reinforcing steel in concrete exposed to corrosive conditions.
