My friend gave me these old metal lawn chairs. They are a mess . . . but my grandma always had chairs like this on her front patio and I love them because they remind me of her. So we decided to take a shot at painting them.
They were so rusted that Richard had to cut off the bolts - in order to get the chairs apart. This was worth it just to see the sparks fly.
It would be easier to take them and have them sand blasted . . . but when do we do anything the easy way. I started sanding them - and it shouldn't be too hard to get them ready. After that a little rustoleum and I can paint them. The hardest part is . . . what color? Grandma's I believe were always painted green and white. My goal is to finish sanding them tonight - if time allows and get them painted this week.
Looks like a good project that will get you great results and something functional besides. Have fun!
