[TowerTalk] Cold galvanizing vs painting

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

Hi,
I've got some steel pipe that I'm using for a tower project which
needs to be protected from the weather.  What are the pros and cons of
cold galvanizing vs painting?  

I can't do anything now, since the humidity is pretty high, and it'll
be lightly rusted by the time I can protect it.  Even if I use the
cold galvanizng for protection, I'll put a layer of paint on it to
make it blend into the tress better.

So, the question is: cold galvanize or paint?
