Stergil, In the oil patch, we would use what's generally called "surface tolerant" epoxy. I would at least wire brush the gate portions that are pretty rusty and then wipe with some hot thinner to clean. For the new pipe, if its dry and not covered with dust and dirt, you can apply the epoxy directly. Two coats are better than one but if you have a good sprayer, you can apply a fairly heavy coat and be done. Epoxy is a "hot" paint and is self curing--like fiberglass. Some brands sell two part mix and others sell as one-part already mixed and ready to spray. The paint is very durable and is extremely hard after curing. Enamel is easier to apply and cheaper, but not as durable. Only complaint I have is that the expoxies tend to "chalk" after about 10 years in the sun. Follow all safety warnings and use a good respirator and good ventilation.
