Hi, P. The GPSP is galvanized with zinc and thus will afford galvanic protection and significantly outlast powder coating on plain steel. However, the ideal material would probably be Galvanneal, as the annealing after galvanizing presents a surface more suitable for good adhesion of the powder coating.
