What is the primer for new galvanized chain? I'm looking for a primer I

Zinc is a sacrificial surface coat on chain. If you paint
it, the parts where the paint wears off (guess where?)
will lose their coating fast, then here comes the rust.

So I fancy you would do better to leave it alone.
That's the advice for HOT-DIP anyway....
