Does your chair already have paint on it Mary? You can buy sanding blocks in different grits. I like to use these for sanding. If you have an electric palm sander--or can borrow one--that will work well too. I usually use a medium grit sandpaper and then switch to a finer grit. The rungs may require a bit of hand sanding with smaller pieces of sandpaper. If you really want an easy way to paint a chair check out Rustoleum Chalked Paint--it does come in a spray paint and gives you a nice matte chalk paint look or you can buy a can and brush it on. It does have to be sealed with the Rustoleum Chalked Clear Sealer--don't use any other kind of clear sealer--trust me! You can find it at Menards, Home Depot, and maybe even WalMart.

I would recommend that you sand it before painting. If you would rather skip the sanding, there is a new product on the market. It's called Beyond Paint. It eliminates the need to sand or seal. It costs a lot more than regular paint. I found it on Home Depot's web site. Costs begin at $40 for a quart. Tempting but very pricey. Good luck.
Hi Mary. It's Cindy again. Lightly sand it with 600 grit sandpaper. Then paint. Best wishes.
