Procedure To Repaint Metal Chairs

Metal Chairs are mostly used for outdoor use as they can withstand many climatic changes. In order to maintain the beauty & durability of metal chairs, it is necessary to repaint them after every 5 - 10 years. The procedure to follow in order to repaint the metal chairs is mentioned below:
  1. Scrape Of Loose Paint & Rust:
    First, the user needs to scrape off any loose paint and rust from the metal chair by using a wire brush. The wire brush can be used to reach odd and round areas.
  2. Sand Metal Chairs:
    After scraping loose paint, the user needs to sand the entire metal chair with a random orbital sander. The sander setting should be 6 and the user first needs to sand the metal chair with 60 grit paper followed by 120 grit paper. The 60 grit paper is used to remove all the remaining loose paint that cannot be removed with a wire brush and a 120 grit paper smooths the transition between existing paint and the rust spots.
  3. Remove Dust & Dirt:
    The next step will be to remove dirt and dust from the metal chair by wiping down the entire chair with a sponge dampened in clean water.

  5. Apply Paint:
    Once the primer dries on to the metal chair, the user needs to spray the entire chair with an even coat of paint. The user needs to make sure that he sprays the paint in straight lines. Once the first coat of paint dries, the user needs to spray another coat of paint evenly and in straight lines.
  6. Apply Protective Coat:
