If you stripped the paint off and are back to bare metal. You should be able to use a clear sealer on it.

Make sure you wash it down so the clear coat will adhere

Hi! How would you like it to look? The way it did before? Does it need something else done to it? More information would be helpful!🙂 Good luck and stay safe!

I want it to be like it was when I bought it and I am not sure I stripped off the galvanized part.

There are special sealers for this kind of metal. I would inquire at the hardware store.
