| My chairs and table edge looking like new |
I really can’t remember how long that we have had our outdoor dining set, it has to be at least ten years old.
The table is a glass top with a trimmed metal edge. The chairs are cloth seats with metal frames. Over the years the weather and wear and tear have taken its toll on our outdoor furniture.
At the end of last summer season, I had all intentions of getting rid of it and buying a new set. After pulling it out of storage and taking a look at it I decided that I could restore this and make it look like new again.
There was some rust on the edge of the table and on the chair legs. This is a really easy do-it-yourself project. With a few easy steps and about four hours of my time I have it looking like new.
Here is what I did: To Restore my outdoor metal furniture:
-
Osborn International 83100SP Economy Curved Handle Steel Wire Heavy Duty
After moving all of the furniture into the garage. I set up a table to minimize bending over while I worked. Then I wire brushed the edge of the table on both sides. And, did the same for the chairs to remove all of the rust.

Scotch Masking Tape for Basic Painting, 1.88-Inch by 60.1-Yard
Next, I masked off all of the glass surfaces on both sides of the table. I used newspaper and this Scotch 2-inch wide masking tape. Then, I did the same for the chairs. Making sure that I covered all of the cloth on the chairs.-
Rust-Oleum 284990 American Accents Ultra Cover 2x Gloss, Almond
Now that I had everything ready. It was time to add the finishing touches. I used this RUST-OLEUM 2X ULTRA COVER. This spray paint comes in so many different colors. So, it won't be hard to find a match for your project.
I am very happy with the outcome of my project, I think my outdoor dining set will go on for another few years.
With a few inexpensive materials, I saved myself a whole lot of money.
