How do I make a wood picnic table stop peeling paint?
by Vicky
Every year we paint our picnic table and every year it peels by spring. We have tried everything that the people at the paint store says will work but it doesn't.
Suggested Project Book
I use exterior house paint on my picnic table. It will last for a long time. I store my picnic table inside the garage for the winter tipped up on it's side.
Remove all the old finish. Prime with Kilz Original. Paint with RustOleum enamel paint. I used this on a rocker that sits exposed on the porch and it looks like new after 2 years.
Exterior house paint is made for outside weather conditions. Even if you don't store it inside for the winter the painted finish should last like it does on a house.
