For use with a spraygun' I'm not sure.
You can use galvi-grip to prepare the surface for painting and then use hammerite spraypaint.
They only thing is the hammerite spray is expensive!
Why not paint it with a foam roller or brush?
You could then use DTM (direct to metal) a hammerite equivalent made by Duram.

You can use cold galv it comes in a tin from the hardware, it is painted on but will be darker than the actual galvanizing, then get a plain silver spray paint in a tin to hide the cold galv colour difference. You wont match the colour of the factory galvanising with any of the galvanising repair kits cold galv is your cheapest option.
