Q: Can galvanized pipes be painted?

You can paint them, but not directly.

Since galvanized pipes have a smooth surface and a highly reactive zinc coating, they must first be cleaned and sanded, then coated with a specialized primer (such as epoxy zinc yellow primer or zinc phosphate primer), followed by a compatible topcoat (such as epoxy paint, polyurethane paint, or water-based acrylic paint). At the same time, avoid using ordinary latex paint, paints containing copper pigments, and alkyd paints, as these can cause peeling, flaking, or accelerated corrosion.
