Absolutely that is true. Two options for galvanized metal. If new, wash with vinegar to remove the oily coating which is part of the manufacturing process, then paint with a top quality acrylic house paint. If old, check your local paint dealer for a galvanized metal primer, apply and follow with an appropriate topcoat.
