Freshening Up Outdoor Adirondack Chairs With a Paint Sprayer
$125
1 Hour

Our backyard Adirondack chairs are worn, weathered and wobbly. I'd been avoiding painting them because painting anything with spindles or slats are a pain, to be honest. But a paint sprayer will definitely make things easier. This project is sponsored by HomeRight, all opinions are my own.
We had originally bought these chairs as a kit that we had to put together ourselves. They sit out back in front of the chiminea/ fire pit area which has become our 'go to' spot for relaxing on summer nights.
I've been told that I make a mess when I work so I made sure to protect the lawn with a simple plastic tarp held down by fancy weights aka yard garden gnomes.
I've been lucky enough to try out the brand new HomeRight Finish Max Extra paint sprayer. Not to be confused with the Finish Max that we already know and love. The new Finish Max Extra is even better and you don't need to dilute your paint! Insert happy dance.
I grabbed the leftover paint that was used on our shed project. (We recently built our own shed from scratch and you can see that project HERE if you'd like - http://www.justthewoods.com/how-to-build-a-shed/) The paint is an Exterior paint from Behr called Anonymous. I simply stirred and filled the paint container on the paint sprayer. The chairs were sprayed to a fresh soft gray and the process was easy peasy. You can see a video of the sprayer in action on my blog here - http://www.justthewoods.com/painting-adirondack-chairs-homeright/
The chairs are back in place in front of the fire and ready for relaxing summer nights. To see more photos, as well as the video, make sure to check it out on the blog - http://www.justthewoods.com/painting-adirondack-chairs-homeright/

Have a question about this project?
Have to check out that sprayer. And yes, I too would have power washed the chairs first, but that’s just me...signed the princess of prep, AKA the princess of procrastination ...
Don't know where you are, but here in CA there is a tool outlet named Harbor Freight Tool Co. They sell (or used to) these chairs in a put together kit for around $30. You could find them on the web. They will ship. For that price, it's hardly worth repairing.
