How to revive old wire garden chairs with spray paint

30 years ago these chairs were in their prime. A little rust won’t stop them getting a new lease on life.

• Wire brush
• Sandpaper
• Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal Primer
• Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch 2x in the colours of your choice
• Painter’s tape
• Old plastic shopping bags

Step 1

Use the wire brush and sandpaper to remove all loose and flaky bits on your furniture. Clean off all the dust.

Step 2

Spray the chairs on all sides with Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal Primer and let it dry.

Step 3

Spray the chair with two to three coats in the colour of your choice. Spray from all sides and angles. Let it dry.

Step 4

Mask the ends of the legs and protect the rest of the chair with plastic shopping bags. Spray the ends of the legs in a contrasting colour.
