Yes, you can paint this galvanized metal. If the metal flashing is visible then painting is a good idea. This will blend it with the trim color.
Usually this metal is allowed to "weather" for 3-4 weeks. This removes most of the residual oils from the manufacturing and shipping. In your case, it will require a quick washing. You can use an 1/8 cup of laundry detergent mixed with a couple gallons of warm water and rinse well with clean water. Or wipe it with a solvent, like acetone.
A good universal quick drying primer is needed. I would use an oil base, make sure it is compatible with galvanized metal.
Ultimately, the decision to paint the galvanized metal or leave it silver will depend on your personal preference and the overall style you want to achieve. If you aim for a more coordinated and traditional look, painting the metal can be a great choice. On the other hand, if you prefer a minimalist and contemporary aesthetic, leaving the metal silver may be the way to go.
