Pop of Color

These chairs have been on the screen porch for 4 years.  Yes, they have survived quite well, but they definitely need some love.

Hello ugly worn out chairs! Meet my paint can.
Paint can, meet ulgy chairs.

 

HOW TO:


1.  Clean off the chair (Remove spider webs and old food particles!)


2.  Get a sanding block from the hardware store.


3.  Go over the entire chair lightly with the sanding block.   


4. Wipe off all the sanding dust.


5. Paint - small sprays if you are spray painting and you will need several layers (I used spray paint), OR if you are brush painting get a medium size paint brush that is angled on the end.  The angle spreads paint better and is great for all of the little spindles.  Any enamel paint will cover wonderfully and be sure to get the sheen you want (satin, semi-gloss, gloss, etc).

I sprayed 3 chairs "Krylon" Avocado Satin and 2 chairs "Valspar" Mediterranean Gloss.  


The gloss is definitely the way to go for these chairs.  Now I have to spray the green chairs with a clear gloss so the finishes match. 


I'm loving POP of color they added to our screen porch ... and the boys fight over which color chair they get to sit in.  Maybe I should've painted them all the same?!  :)
