A careful surface-restoration treatment for metal gates affected by failing black paint and exposed weathering.

What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
Prepare and clean the metal gate leaves and detailed framework; remove flaking legacy paint and surface residue with a controlled abrasive process; refine the finish for consistent appearance; and leave the steel clean, dry and ready for the next coating system. Surrounding areas and adjacent surfaces should be protected throughout the work.
