I just had my roof replaced. There is one place where the new flashing is up against the wood siding. I need to paint it white to match the rest of the house. What is the best primer for the flashing?

Hard to beat RustOleum on metal.

Yes, or any good *oil-based* primer.
Remember the importance of prep. Be sure to clean the metal before painting. Vinegar is good, as it slightly etches the surface to make the paint adhere better.
What, copper, galvanised, aluminum, rust oleum oil will not work best on galvanised.
It is supposed to be galvanized. I don't expect they would have changed.

They call it Tremclad- but it is a Rustoleum product;

"Specially formulated to provide adhesion when topcoating galvanized metal "
Point made, though, is 'use the right primer.'

Are you sure it not aluminum
