Painting Metal Porch Furniture (DIY)

Before:

Step 1: Use a wire brush to clean and scruff up the existing paint, getting rid of loose chips of paint, rust and the mossy moldy stuff growing on the chair.

Make sure to keep the chickens away from the paint.


Step 2: Coat with Rust-oleum "Rusty Metal Primer"


Step 3: Once the primer has dried for a few hours, coat with Rust-oleum in your favorite color! This took 2 coats to really get the coverage I was looking for.




Pretty simple, really! And much, much cheaper than the Fermob chairs I've been pining over!

After:

Now, on to the rest of the chairs, and then the table!
