Will painting steel and aluminum prior to fastening them together with stainless steel screws prevent a galvanic reaction? This will be used for an exterior canopy. Or should a separation tape be used. Thanks.

Unless you have specific trainning in this area get the support of someone who does; At a minimum a material supplier/manufacturer, ideally an Architect.
