I am after purchasing a 2nd hand driveway gate but I have had to extend it by a foot and then raise it by 8 inches to suit my driveway, I have all that done now and the brackets welded up for it, It was not galvanized before just painted in hammerite and having cleaned off some if the paint its in great condition with no rust, Should I just clean it up fully , primer it and then paint it up again with a paint like hammerite? Or should I get it galvanized?

Is there a major advantage in getting it galvanized?
If yes would I have to get it sandblasted before I get it galvanized?

Thanks
