I just made a pair of steel gates, 13' long each, for the driveway and don't want to ever have to deal with rust or repaint again.
Without going into detail, there are a lot of pieces laying next to each other but not welded the whole way so ill have bare metal inside but want to seal it up so it won't rust and run down.
I'm going to make them black so it should help hide any rust running down.
Can anyone suggest kinds of paint to use that will last and will seal up the joints?
I thought about bondo-ing the joints but think that the vibrations and movement might crack it.
Or any processes that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg? Powder coating would be great but how much? A neighbor suggested galvanizing but I have no idea on the cost of that.
Thanks!
