Unfinished galvanized metal or aluminum should be wiped with a degreasing cleaner, rinsed and dried. There are both water-based and oil-based paints that work well for metals, but be sure to use paints that are compatible with your primer. Most manufacturers indicate what type of primer should be used for a particular finish coat, and vice-versa.
Priming should be done the same day that you clean the surface.
