Patio Dining Makeover

I found this patio set for $15 at a moving sale. It looked very worn and thirsty and in need of a lot of TLC....I entered it in a challenge and it won first place!!! Yay for me!!!
The chairs had splits in them, and the table was almost broken in half. After a lot of sanding,I have decided to paint them. I spoke to Rustoleum experts on what to do, they were so helpful. I figured out which way I wanted to go with the table and chairs. Now it was a big thing for me to paint teak. I know there are some out there that are shaking their heads, don't paint teak. If this set was in good condition, I would have just stained. I took the doggies with me, and headed to Home Depot. They love going, the lady that works behind the counter in paint,always have treats for them. (getting off track talking about the doggies)
Notice the cracks in the wood on the seat. The primer/sealer will keep all the oils from coming out from the wood, and seal .
I used the same colors on this set as I used on the pallet in the 'Frogs update'.
Isn't he sweet! He loves swinging on the chandelier in the breeze...his favorite hangout....close to feeder....but he doesn't share except his little girl friend.
All Done!

Sounds like we have a lot in common. I love that little hummer! He protects his yard! He loves it when the wind blows and hes swinging back and forth. Silly hummer!

How did u make the hanging chandelier
HI Beautiful
What did you use it make it shine.
The 2 pictures look like one is darker. Is that after the second coat.
I have a client that want his patio table redone. Its metal and a ugly green and a glass on it. The 2 chairs are green to. I want to add some colors to make it pop. I love yours. Its at a beach house these will fit perfect.
Thank you

Wondering why no one suggested teak oil, as this would have brought the patina of the wood back. Teak has to be oiled. Now that this wood is painted, how often will it have to be repainted if used outside? It is very nice.
