Muriatic acid can be used to strip off the galvanizing. It's readily available and used quite often for cleaning concrete. It's also used for adjusting PH of swimming pools. Make sure to do this outdoors. You will need something that you can lay the sheet metal into and cover the sheet with acid. It will work quickly. Once the galvanizing is gone, pour a mixture of water and baking soda over the panel to neutralize the acid then rinse with water.
An interesting experiment is to file the copper edge off a penny then drop it into muriatic acid. The acid will eat up the center zinc and leave the copper intact.
