I found an old Brown & Jordan buffet table that is losing its white coating. I believe it is metal underneath, showing a bit of silver color. How do I restore it?

ITS galvanized metal...difficult for paint to adhere....Removing the paint is easy...hard work but easy (Paint remover, scrap and sand) SO u need a lil sulfuric acid 5%, hardware or home depot...USE GLOVES!. ok now that the paint is removed...wipe the light acid allover the METAL with steel wool (if u have it)...may change color...this will etch it...IF u don't have or won't use acid...USE VINEGAR...it should work, also. there.

Try contacting this high quality company at brownjordan.com before you get started. Company has been around for many decades. Brown Jordan was like the "Henredon" of outdoor furniture. I was a buyer for summer goods 35 years ago and Brown Jordan was great to work with back in the day. At the time, our most expensive summer line.

My first thought was to call an auto body shop and see if they would paint it for you. I've heard that some of them will paint non-automotive stuff I hope we'll get to see the final results.

Personally, I love the galvanized look. If you want that, do not sand the old paint off! It will scratch the surface of the metal. If it were me, I'd try Citrustrip instead. If you prefer paint, probably the best thing is spray paint made specially for metal(after you get the old paint off). Or, check autobody shops to see if they might put it in the paint booth with a car they are painting. I have had bike frames repainted that way. They might even sand blast it for you.

Take it and have it sandblasted, then have it powder coated (paint). Replace glass with a textured piece.

Look them up on line in your area. Get a couple quotes & references. Maybe ask friends & neighbors if they can suggest a place.
