I'll put up with it, because he does good work, and I don't have the
energy to do it myself.
I suspect that, with time and dirt, my shiny black will become subdued.

That was a pretty bold thing for the chap to say, Jim! They don’t hold back in
your neck of the woods . . .
I use Hammerite matt black on our gates; it is supposed to fend off rust with
no other treatment.

In the past, when my sons and I were painting these railings, I tried to find a flat
black paint for that purpose. This time, I left it to the contractor to choose the
paint, and it is shiny, but that seems to be the pattern in the neighborhood. Perhaps
flat black is now passe. But, as Mark, the contractor commented, with a coat of
Rust-Oleum iron oxide primer and another or their professional grade enamel, I won't need
to deal with it before " I join the angels". I like his character assessment.
