In Australia's oil industry, esso/BHP oil and gas platforms have been using a high ratio waterborne zinc coating, a single coat application applied in two passes, it was a steep learning curve , testing four products and convincing the applicators of its health benefits and it's hardness/ turn around handling time , it's a self inspecting product, poor blast profile and the zinc simply peels off, to much humidity or low ambient temp / lack of air flow the product doesent cure properly, dft range ideally 100 to 150 microns, the best product was vessy chemical, a us product ,joten, dimet and dulux also supplied products , it has been used for 30 years now and I believe trialled in the USA by exxon and the us navy and also was found to be to complicated for use in the tropics due to high temps and humidity, Field testing inorganic zinc silicates by Alex Szokolik consulting pty ltd, worth the read
