How to paint the gate

At first glance it may seem that this is not such a difficult job. In principle, this is correct. But it is not nice to look at the colic when it begins to peel off after painting. The paint dims and stains. This spoils the appearance of the entire site.

In this article we will describe how to paint a wicket from a shaped tube and other materials. In fact, only two can be the main materials for manufacturing, it is metal and wood. But the coloring of each one is different. You need to do all the work correctly so that you do not have to redo it pretty quickly.

We paint a gate from metal

Metal gates are perhaps the most common designs, so we start with this design.

Training

From this work should begin. Just can not paint. The coating will peel off and dim. Under it will begin corrosion.

From the quality of training will depend entirely on the life of the entire structure. Therefore, this work should be done correctly.

 So:

• Completely clean the surface from the previous coating. To do this, use a brush on the metal. It is even better to use a drill with a nozzle, it will speed up the work a lot. Moreover, it will be difficult to remove rust from the shells with a brush;
• You can use a special solution for removing paint. Only when working should a respirator be worn. And this method is partially effective. It removes paint, but does not remove rust. After it will require additional treatment with anti-corrosion agents;
• After that we do sandpaper processing. It will eliminate plaque and provide better paint application;
• After that, we need to degrease the plane. To do this, use a solvent. Pay special attention to hard to reach places;
• After this treatment may appear white patina.which should be removed with a piece of cloth;
• Now we need to apply a layer of base. This is done using primer. You can buy it in retail. Apply at least two layers. Because of this, we have paint (see. Paint for doors: we choose and make painting) will be applied qualitatively and evenly. Significantly increase the service life.

All work should be done in good weather. Do not do this when the humidity is high.

Making the right painting

After completing the preparation, we need to apply a good coverage, which should serve us for a long time. Coloring the gate can be done with an ordinary paint brush.

But in this case will be visible divorces. We need to apply the coating layer most evenly, for this it is better to use a spray or roller.

Caution: If you use a spray gun, then do not forget to cover the details of the structure that you do not want to paint.

Now let's break down the points of how to properly paint an iron gate.

So:

• In order to avoid drips, work should be started from the top of the plane. and move to the bottom;
• After drying, we should have a uniform surface. To do this, apply each subsequent layer so that it overlaps the previous one;
• Doing painting sometimes move away and look at the plane. Achieve uniform application;
• The paint can dry completely in at least 24 hours. Wait and see. If necessary, apply another layer.

All the work can of course be done by hand. The main thing is to properly prepare the surface and do the work at temperatures above 10 degrees. Otherwise, bloating, color irregularities and drips may occur.

We paint a gate from a tree

This material will probably take second place on the application. Moreover, at this time many people, making wickets, use not only wood, but also combine it with metal (see. Wooden gate with your own hands - some practical tips). Such work also requires the right approach.

Training

As with the first painting, we should properly prepare the plane. Only this work will be slightly different.

So:

• Remove all previous coverage. To do this, use sandpaper. You can use the drill with a special nozzle;
• Inspect the surface. We do the initial grinding of the plane. This is best done with a grinder. If shells remain, then we remove them with wood putty.

Attention: From the very beginning, we remove the old coating with sandpaper with a large grain. After this, the surface treatment should be done with a paper with a finer grain.

• If putty is made, then we wait for complete drying and re-putty;
• Now you should treat the surface with an antifungal mixture. It will protect the surface from the penetration of moisture and disease.

Do the painting

To get started, get some paint. Pay attention to it for exterior surfaces. This work is done using a roller or spray gun.

Caution: Coating do at least twice. The first layer will serve as a primer. If you perform the first coating with a primer, then carefully consider the selection of colors. It should overlap the paint and not affect the color.

• Pay attention to the color of the plane. If darkness has formed during the process of time, they can be eliminated by treating the surface with bleach. To do this, apply this ratio of liquid: one part bleach and three parts of water;

Now we decide on the principle of painting. It depends on the type of construction.

• If you have a panel door, then its painting is performed in three steps. You can apply and roller. Painting starts from the end and the top corner of the working canvas and to the opposite edge. So we treat the whole plane. We are waiting for complete drying. Instructions for use eats on each package of paint. Examine her;
• Now consider the principle of painting paneled door. This design should begin to paint with a brush. You can easily reach her in remote places. From them, and should begin. After that, we take a roller and complete the work.

Painting by stain

This option is also chosen by some people. The price of the material is not high, and the view, with the correct application of the layer, is quite pleasant. Then the work is done a little wrong. To begin, preparation is done, as described earlier.

Further such stages in the work are done:

• Now the canvas needs a little wet. Then it will not so much moisture. Therefore, the dye will fall on the plane most evenly. First we make the coating from the top of the gate and across the canvas.
• The next layer is applied along. After drying, apply another coating and again across;
• If you are performing a water soluble treatment. Then the wood fibers are saturated with moisture and begin to finish. After processing they will need to be sanded.
• To avoid this, do a liquid-based treatment with alcohol. Only when painting with such material does not smell pleasant.

After complete drying, apply a paint coat as described earlier. Before work, you can watch photos and videos and get to work. The most important thing is to properly prepare the surface for work. Only then the product will be pleasing to the eye for a long time.
