I have a Hot Dipped Galvanized Metal dog kennel, can I apply two AFM Safecoat products to, a base coat of AFM SafeCoat, MetalCoat Metal Primer (as a base-layer) with 2 top-coats of AFM SafeCoat, All Purpose Exterior Satin, Custom Color Paint? I know AFM SafeCoat Transitional Primer works with the All Purpose Exterior Satin, though I wonder if MetalCoat is better for this? The kennels going to be revamped as a catio & kept outside throughout the seasons; with a very free-draining mixed-aggregate/Geocell ground grid & stone-flagger topped patio with a Corten steel border to serve as base pedestal. Would this be the combo I need to ensure that the kennel can have extra layers of materials life and will resist the elements year round?

I would recommend getting a sample of the metalcoat primer to check the bonding to the metal just to be sure (it isn't designed to bond to painted metal.) As long as there isn't any sort of paint coating on the Galvanized metal them it should bond properly. If you get a good bond on there then the 2 of those would work great. If for some reason the Metalcoat Primer won't bond properly then you could try the Transitional Primer which is designed to bond to surfaces that your not sure what is on it (i.e. Painted metal, oil based products, ect.)
