Not sure what the white stuff is..

My neighbor have the same type and color side gate, and he recently
had a contractor come to reprint it. Looks very nice. Looks like just
gloss paint or something.

My black side iron gate looks rather worn. How do I repaint the gate?
Is it paint or is it some form of black oil stain that is on it? See

Should I use brush or rollers?

Thanks for any tips!

You will not be able to duplicate that finish, it looks like
a powder coated factory applied enamel finish...

You have some rust to deal with which you should remove
and spot prime before painting...

What is that white residue all over the latch side of the gate?

Is there something above which is draining/running off onto
the gate ?

It is an outdoor gate, I would use no less than either
a marine grade epoxy paint and the proper prep if you
do it yourself...

You could also look into having a company come
remove the gate, sandblast it down to bare metal
and reapply a powder coat enamel finish at their
paint booth... Looks like the gate unbolts from
the footings and the hinges from the walls...

You won't be able to achieve that kind of finish
in the field...
