Whether you have a massive driveway gate, a delicate garden entrance, or an ornate wrought iron masterpiece, Sundial Powder Coating delivers custom gate finishes that transform your property's entrance.

Gates face the worst conditions of any metalwork on your property:

Why Powder Coat Your Gate

The Problem with Painted Gates

• Constant sun exposure fades color
• Rain and humidity cause rust
• Wind-blown debris chips paint
• Hand contact wears finish
• Temperature cycles cause cracking

Paint lasts 2-3 years at best. Powder coating lasts 10-15 years or more.

Powder Coating Advantages for Gates

Gate Types We Coat

Driveway Gates

Driveway gates are the largest and most visible metalwork on most properties. Our driveway gate coating services include:

• Single and dual swing gates - any size
• Sliding gates - track, frame, and pickets
• Automatic gate components - motors, tracks, rollers, hardware
• Pedestrian gates - matching or complementary designs

Wrought Iron Gates

Wrought iron gates feature intricate scrollwork, finials, and decorative elements that require careful preparation and coating. Our process preserves detail while providing complete protection.

Steel Security Gates

Security gates prioritize function but still need to look professional. Our steel gate coatings provide corrosion protection and a clean appearance that enhances rather than detracts from your property.

Aluminum Gates

Aluminum gates are lightweight and corrosion-resistant but factory finishes fade. Our powder coating refreshes the appearance and adds long-term UV protection.

Custom Fabricated Gates

The Gate Coating Process

Step 1: On-Site or Shop Removal

Small gates can be removed and brought to our shop. Large driveway gates may be coated on-site or partially disassembled for transport.

Step 2: Complete Strip

Old paint, rust, and contaminants are removed by media blasting or chemical stripping. Every surface must be clean metal for proper adhesion.

Step 3: Repair

Rust damage, broken welds, and bent elements are repaired. We can replace missing components or add decorative elements.

Step 4: Pretreatment

Metal is cleaned and treated with a conversion coating that enhances adhesion and provides additional corrosion protection.

Step 5: Masking

Hinges, latches, locks, and moving parts are masked to prevent coating from interfering with function.

Step 6: Powder Application

Powder is applied electrostatically for complete coverage on all surfaces, including inside tubular sections and behind scrollwork.

Step 7: Curing

The gate is cured in a temperature-controlled oven, crosslinking the powder into a hard, durable finish.

Step 8: Reinstallation

We can coordinate reinstallation with your gate contractor or provide guidance for DIY reinstallation.
