I would like to know what paint only chips a bit. I used a paint I thought would hold up, for my markers; it disappeared in a couple of weeks, leading me to use wire ties of different colors, instead.
As to regalvanizing, I checked into it for that same chain, 2/3 of which was rusting badly (staining, not deteriorating). Unless you are in the immediate vicinity of a bulk galvanizer, the cost of shipping, plus the minimum order (which can be circumvented by piggybacking at the right time with another large batch) was close to the cost of new chain - which is what I did, saving the better 100' for storm anchor leads of 50' each (rope rode for the rest of it)...
