galvanized outbuilding - what kind of paint and prep?

Easton, KS(Zone 5b)

Hi, I wonder if any of you have ever painted a galvanized metal outbuilding. I have a couple on our property, and they just look kinda ugh, but I would like to use them for my garden tools, pots, etc. I have purchased a couple of solar lights so I do not have to run power out to them, but gosh, I want to paint them in a pastel of some sort. I know I'll have to use some kind of base coat paint, but the people at Home Depot can't tell me what I can use.

Suggestions?
