Restoring a Metal Chair
I found a rusty old metal chair and wanted to restore it. This is my story.
First I cleaned it with some bleach water. I used a wire brush and dry cloth to wipe it down. I replaced a few bolts and nuts that needed to be replaced but was careful to retain what was left of the integrity of the chair.
Next I used Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer that I found at Walmart for $4.97. I coated the entire chair with two coats. It's a flat black color.
I let that dry a few days and then spray painted it with two more coats of Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Spray, American Red.
Once the paint had cured or really after several weeks, I applied Turtle Wax Paste Wax. I found a small can with applicator at Walmart. Now we will just have to give the old chair the test of time.
Here is the before picture.
