    I painted my rod iron furniture with a rust-oleum spray paint. Wash it down real well and let dry. Then brush away any loose paint with a wire brush. Wipe off with a damp rag. Spray outside in a well ventilated area, several times, light coats - and make sure you turn the items upside down and sideways so you get in all the nooks and crannies! Mine has lasted for at least 10 years now.

      @Cheryl Schmitke I painted my old metal deck furniture this way. I now have canary yellow furniture to match my personality! A few light coats is right. I only did mine two years ago, but I also left the set out all winter (no room) & it's still holding up.

      Thanks. Nice to get another comment that gives Rostoleum the thumbs up. Annie Vee

    Hi Annie, before you start clean furniture first. If there is any rust, remove with a stiff wire brush. Once the prep work is done and everything is clean and dry, you are ready to paint. I would suggest using Rustoleum. They have loads of colors to choose from and built in rust protection. You might want to go with 3 coats of paint. Remember light handed spraying is the secret to success.
