Painting metal chairs

[LadyHomeLover]

I've scoured the net for the chairs I want and finally found the perfect chairs.

Only problem is, I want them white and these are grey.

Could I paint them, and what with?

I don't have a paint sprayer or any fancy equipment.

Thank you.

All previously painted surfaces such as metal MUST be sanded down to allow the new paint to stick properly.

In your case a light sand down all over will do as the paint will be in good condition.

Oil-based paint may be the best paint to use.

Are you looking to use a brush or spray can?

Doing it by brush may look a bit homemade, but you may find these easier.

Are you looking for a satin or gloss finish?

You COULD do this with regular house paint, ie oil-based undercoat and then oil-based gloss or satinwood, but it may not look professional enough.

What are you like a spraying?

But you will end up with white chairs with grey mesh fabric...

To get a decent and durable finish will cost much more than the purchase price of the chairs.

Sorry, might be cheaper to find white chairs.

Believe me, Opp, I have been ALL over the net to find white chairs just like these. Obviously that is the first thing I would do before resorting to even thinking about painting them.

Spark, thanks for your comments. I have never sprayed anything. It sounds like I would make a mess of it.

Spraying can cause runs, especially for the inexperienced.

Sure you can't live with grey?

Nice grey, very fashionable at the moment.

If you want to paint them, Paint it with Spray but the best option I think to find white Chairs. Thank you
