Installed a zero-clearance fireplace with a galvanized chimney. Initially thought I would build a chase around it, but discarded that plan for structural reasons (8 ft of chimney extends through a 4/12 roof near the gutter line so there is very little to anchor it to and a square chase offers a lot more wind face than a round stack.) Would like to paint it black, or light grey to match the siding.
Can galv be painted? Do I just treat it like any other bare metal? Anyone have any experience doing so?
TIA
