As far as painting, normally there is a primer coat used and then after that the regular color on top. For detail work gold leaf paint is often used. A yellow primer is first applied and then the gold on top of that. There is a good quality paint imported (from Italy) which is widely used. (31-Jul-04)dozer00000

Roller mechanism for the gate. There is one metal roller on the outside and one on the inside of the upside down 'U' piece of metal. Metal rollers, even though subject to rust, are better than the plastic ones which wear out quickly. (29-Jul-04)dozer00000
