Need more information.

Exactly what type aluminized steel do you have?

If it as brand name contact the manufacturer and ask about a coating or you may contact a knowledgeable coating supplier.

If it is thermally applied what was the method?

The recommended preparation is similar to other metallic parts - alkaline clean, zinc phosphate pretreatment, then paint.

From whom do you obtain the steel and the paint? You can contact each for more information on your application.
