How to Restore an Old Park Bench

Easy
I've had this park bench for awhile, sitting on my front porch. It stays out of the sun and elements mostly, but it does get hit with the morning sun. So needless to say, it is getting weather damaged. I wanted to make sure to stop the damage before it got too bad and the bench was ruined.
So I sanded the bench down, wiped it down to get the dust off, and then I used a special stain spray paint to restore it to its original color. I could've done a fun color, but wasn't sure what color I would want to do so I just stuck with the original color. I am so glad I did. It is still gorgeous!
I did 4 layers of stain on it. Each layer only took me 1 minute to spray, and then about 60 minutes to dry. So it was a quick and easy project with not a lot of time, but it made a huge difference
I love how it came out!
Enjoyed the project?
