Galvanized steel is steel coated with a zinc layer that crystallizes into a spangled, patchwork surface — you see shiny gray flakes like frost on metal.
Key to the look: the spangle pattern — those jagged gray flakes — is the zinc crystals. Use raking light (side light at a low angle) to make each facet catch. Avoid flat overhead light that hides the texture.
Spot it: irregular white-gray flakes like frost on metal, especially where light skims the surface.
