Give garden furniture a makeover with Rust-Oleum
Give me half a chance and I will talk for hours on the joy of using Rust-Oleum spray paints for projects in and around the home. There simply is no spray paint that comes close to Rust-Oleum, and their range of products is amazing.
If your garden furniture is weather beaten and past it’s best, it’s never too late to restore it, and adding a splash of colour with Rust-Oleum 2X satin will give your garden furniture a fresh, new look.
YOU WILL NEED:
Rust-Oleum 2X spray paint - satin leafy green (or your choice of colour)
Dropcloth or newspaper
120- and 240-grit sandpaper
Cloths

HERE'S HOW:
1. Place the furniture to be painted to a well-ventilated area - preferably outdoors - and place on top of newspaper or a dust sheet. Mask off any areas of the object not to be painted with masking tape. Protect the surrounding area with additional dust sheets or newspaper.
2. Ensure surfaces to be painted are free from loose paint, rust, wax, oil and grease. Previously painted surfaces should be lightly sanded to provide a good bonding surface for the paint to adhere to. Unless you are painting with Rust-Oleum Universal spray paint bare wood and metal should be primed with Rust-Oleum Surface Primer.
3. Using your selected product / colour, hold the can approximately 30cm from the surface of the object and spray in a steady back and forth motion, slightly overlapping with each stroke.
For our table and chairs we used Rust-Oleum 2X satin in Leafy Green, but you can see the full range of colours at your local Builders Warehouse.
SPRAY PAINTING TIPS:
For best results whilst spraying keep the can the same distance from the surface and keep the can in motion.
Apply several light coats a few minutes apart.
Vintage patio furniture has a rustic charm that modern furniture simply cannot compare to. It's a look that says I'm old and loved. Don't toss out that old metal patio set simply because it's covering in flaking paint and rust. Grab a can or two of Rust-Oleum in your choice of colour, finish and texture and transform patio furniture.
