How To Redo Outdoor Metal Chairs

Outdoor metal chairs are a great way to add style and comfort to your patio or deck. However, over time, the elements can take their toll on these chairs, causing them to become rusty or faded. If your metal chairs are looking a little worse for wear, don't despair! With a little bit of effort, you can easily redo them and give them a new lease on life.

### Necessary Tools

Wire brush or sandpaper
Rust-oleum spray paint
Painter's tape
Drop cloth
Spray bottle
Gloves
Screwdriver (if needed)

### Step 1: Clean the Chairs

The first step is to clean the chairs thoroughly. This will remove any dirt, grime, or rust that may be on the surface. You can use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove any loose rust or paint, and then wipe down the chairs with a damp cloth.

### Step 2: Prime the Chairs

Once the chairs are clean, you need to prime them. This will help the paint to adhere to the metal. Apply a thin coat of primer to the entire surface of the chairs, and allow it to dry completely.

### Step 3: Paint the Chairs

Now it's time to paint the chairs! You can use any color you like, but be sure to choose a paint that is specifically designed for metal. Apply a thin coat of paint to the entire surface of the chairs, and allow it to dry completely.

### Step 4: Seal the Chairs

Once the paint is dry, you need to seal it. This will help to protect the paint from the elements and prevent it from chipping or peeling. Apply a thin coat of clear sealer to the entire surface of the chairs, and allow it to dry completely.

### Step 5: Reassemble the Chairs

If you disassembled the chairs before painting them, now is the time to reassemble them. Simply follow the instructions in reverse order, and be sure to tighten all of the screws securely.

### Enjoy Your New Chairs!

Your newly redone chairs are now ready to enjoy! Place them on your patio or deck, and relax in style.

### Tips

Be sure to wear gloves when working with paint and primer.
Cover your work area with a drop cloth to protect it from paint drips.
Allow each coat of paint or primer to dry completely before applying the next coat.
If you are painting the chairs a light color, you may need to apply multiple coats of paint.
To add a touch of personality to your chairs, you can use painter's tape to create stripes or other designs.
