Hi Mike! Nice paint job! I wanted to know if you installed that metal screen yourself. If so, was it difficult. I would like to do my wrought iron gate.
I didn't do this one but have done many before. It is not difficult. The sheets are usually sold in 3'x5' screens and screw in with self-tapping screws. Be careful though-if you have to cut it, it is razor sharp so wear gloves and protect your pet!
Gillian Culff Actually I did not remove the screen, I only poked out the overspray from a previous paint job. If you want to remove the screen it’s held in place with a series of screws around the perimeter of the gate. Usually takes a small nut driver to remove them!
(" I only poked out the overspray from a previous paint job") That was the main thing I wanted to see. Because on the video @1:19 I can see the metal screen is clogged.
Thanks for watching! Leave any questions or comments below:
Very nice thank you. Should I also use safety glasses to protect my eyes while painting?
It never hurts!
My gate is exacly like yours. How many cans did you use? Thanks, it looks great
I think I bought 4 cans and used 3 of them. Too much is better than too little!
Thanks! 😊
does the spray missing go all over the place or is that just air which you can see ?
Mine was very atomized and so there was to overspray, but I use the cardboard to protect the surround areas
Did you use regular spray paint ?
I used Rustoleum spray paint

Thanks so much! Glad I saw your video.
You're Welcome!
Can you tell me what is the approximate time it would take to prepare and repaint one gate such as this?
Maybe 1.5 - 2 hours
@@MikeKlimek exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you, and for the clear video.
What kind of spray paint should I use ?
That was great, but you didn't show how to pop the screen out and replace it.

Well done, gonna do that on the strength of this.
Sweet-good luck!
What did you use to poke the holes through
I used a small nail, but you can use anything small and pointed.
Don’t you need to put a clear sealant after that?
Nope! You can add more coats if you like but a clear sealer is not necessary
I thought the pet mesh would have been filled with paint
It will if you don't move the spray can enough!
👍
