Hi all,
I have a steel outdoor gate across my drive that needs painting. I don't know
if a rattle can would suffice or should I sand, prime and brush it, etc. It
has some light rust:

I have a compressor and paint guns if that makes more sense. I just don't want
to turn it into a bigger job than it needs to be.
I also would like to know what brand paint you might recommend. Thanks in
advance for any recommendations.
best,
doug
