If its wood, it will probably crack in fewer years than you anticipate as
modern wood is crap.
Somebody down my road had their gate dipped in some kind of stuff that
feels almost like teflon. Its very thick and probably expensive to do!

An ornamental garden gate in softwood. I gave it a few coats of aluminium

The undercoat is matt and was rubbed down a bit so advice to key the

buy oil gloss?

Oil and water don't mix. You could try a good wash over with sugar soap
and then have another go?
