Need to repaint lawn mower trailer fenders!!!

I built a lawn mower trailer 5-6 years ago. I bought some fenders that where galvanized. I have painted them three times and the paint will not stick to the galvanize. I am just using enamel paint. I primed them the first time and that did not last a year. The next time I just sanded them off and sprayed them with a rattle can. This lasted several years. The last time I washed them with muriatic acid and sprayed them with a rattle can. That lasted a little better but the paint is peeling again on them.

What do I need to do to make paint stick to the galvanize??? I have another set of fenders, just like them, that I am going to be using on another project so I am going to need to get them to hold paint too.
 
Maybe a little late, but the last couple of trailers I put fenders on I used truck mud flaps sawed in half. Looks nice, no need for paint, can't rust, and won't bend if you hit it with something else bigger. Maybe think about it if you can change.
 
Dang, your hard to please! Most people dont want the metal to rust. Here you have rust proof fenders and you are trying to ruin the undercoating.

Just kidding. Keep painting every few years with a spray can. Better than rust.

Just get you a can of cold galvanized compound clean them up and spray them ,it will stay put but it will be gray
