How to Paint Vintage Metal Chairs

I have had these chairs for years. They were old when I got them! I have painted them several times, but the paint just chips right off. This time, I took all of the right steps to make that paint hold on tight!

Painting: To Paint or Not

I have a vintage iron chaise white with some rust. and a glass top table to match. Do I paint it? If so what color? I'm torn and need help with the decision. I'm open for all suggestions, it's in good shape with nice wheels

Thanks.

    agree with Denise Weick choose a color that is already in your color scheme you use and cushion to fit in and it will be great! All my stuff tends to go white because black seems to blend into my greenery so much more!

  • Dictionary page & chalkboard walls give the entryway a vintage look for about $20.

Book Page Entryway Walls

Our entryway had cheap, old, ugly paneling which made for a unpleasant entry into the house. Rather than tear it out and replace it, I covered the walls with vintage dictionary pages. See the before, during and after in the blog post.

Painting: Vintage Chaise What Color to Paint

Should I paint this it's original white? I also have a glass top table to match. In great shape and the chaise has good wheels. Would it be best in a nice white enamel or a color? The ironwork on the arms and foot of the chaise are great.

    What a find! You might want to pick out your cushions first because you will find there is a ...»
    wide range of prices out there! Then look at the Rustoleum 2X bright colors! I am attaching a photo of my porch I painted out last year. Be sure and post photos. (P.S. Your tile is about the same color as the paint on my porch). Live it up and go for color! I then went around the yard and repainted all my bird houses and cages, dulled and dirty yard thingies and it turned out beautiful. I used acrylic cheapo paint in small bottles from Michaels!


    • I used chartruese, orange, yellow, pink, grape, red (on sewing machine table behind swing) and added even more color in accessories!
    • See how dull this was!

Tennessee I loaded that fence wood and all my other junk finds into the moving truck just like it was precious furniture! It's almost all gone now. I made some beach signs with some of it and they turned out great. You can view all the details on my website post.
