Re-Painting Of Rod-Iron Gate.

Recommended Posts

Hi All

I bought a resale flat this year and i am intending to move in soon. I've done most of the renovations but the Rod Iron gate seemed to be in okay condition, so i kind change the lock for it.

As i also wanted to give it a touch up i was hoping to paint my gate.

Initially i only wanted to paint some of the parts gold (basing from the original design), but i noticed that some parts of the main area are rusty and those parts are coloured green (basing on the original design).

I would like to seek your advice,

1) what is the recommended type of paint to use for such rod iron gates.

2) is it advisable to sandpaper off the rust before repainting? if i sandpaper off, the areas that i didnt want to paint (green part) will be affected thus i would need to repaint the entire gate.

The paint you ask those shop you are buying frm, they will advise you. My opinion is you sand the whole gate and repaint it so as to prevent any future rusting.one time do finish all.

Just repainted my gate over the last weekend.

Total damage was below 50 dollars (paints (Black and GOld) + Brushes + Turpentine.

Bro thanks for the compliment.

But really, i don't have much skills in painting. :)

Just used masking tape to ensure to protect some areas from being "touched" by the gold paint.

Can enquire did you sand down your gate? Also how many layer of paint did you apply?

Hi Bro,

i briefly sand down the rusty portions.

After giving a good and Dry wipe, i painted only 1 coat. for both the black and gold surface.
