[UK-CONTEST] Paint a Tower.

[col]

Hi Stephen

galvanising is probably the best bet but is expensive due to the cost of 
zinc going through the roof at the moment.

I used to work applying specialist marine coatings and there is a product 
which is called "zinc rich" or galvafroid basically an epoxy paint with a 
95% zinc content. Its really cold galvanising.

 apply with a paint mitt.

 I would reckon  it would take about a 1-2 litres to paint tower sections.
