Cold Galv spray paint is no better than regular paint.  True hot-dipped 
galvanizing will cause the material to last between 10 - 40 years, 
depending upon your ambient condx.  ie, for mine (residential suburban), 
the chart shows 30 years life (defined as 95% rust free).  If you're 
going to put up a piece of structural steel, you'd like for it to last a 
long time.  A steel mast you can always replace if necessary.
