Spray, roll, or brush on a galvanized steel friendly primer and top coat it with color of choice.
I like Sherwin Williams DTM Industrial Primer but I buy it in gallons, only, and it isn't cheap. Any auto-body shop or hardware store should have galvanized steel primer in small quantities and/or spray cans.
My experience with galvanized steel is that left unpainted, will still make your hands dirty and any wax will deteriorate over time so that constant maintenance will not be trivial.
BTW, I have a galvanized steel boat in my yard that is 80 years old and rust free. That is the one good attribute of a good galvanic process, it won't rust.
