Gates & metal
A careful surface-restoration treatment for metal gates affected by failing black paint and exposed weathering. Birmingham Sandblasting used a controlled, gentle blast-cleaning approach to lift loose coating and surface contamination while preserving the gate profiles and details, leaving an even metallic finish ready for a suitable primer and protective topcoat.

What was needed
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.
