DIY: Painted Outdoor Patio Furniture

My husband and I received a metal patio furniture set for FREE from his Papa and the patio furniture needed a serious makeover.  It had already been repainted once and the paint was chipping off of it which made it look pretty blah.  This is not the outdoor patio set that we had in mind of getting for the backyard, but since it was FREE we decided to use it for the time being.

Here is one of the patio chairs before my husband upcycled it:

My husband definitely wanted to upcycle the metal outdoor patio furniture to make it look a ton better than it did.  I’m so glad that the hubs is so handy and crafty!  He saves us a lot of money and his work is always great!  We didn’t know exactly what color we wanted to paint it at first, but we knew we didn’t want it to be painted white.  I wanted a pop of color that would look really cute!  My husband suggested a tiffany blue like color just like I had picked for one of the colors in our wedding.  I thought that would look so bomb…so we found the color “koi pond” at one of my husband’s favorite stores ever (Lowes) and it is beautiful!  The end results of the upcycled patio furniture turned out awesome.  I love it!

Do you have some outdoor patio furniture that could use a makeover?  Do you want to know how to spray paint metal outdoor furniture? Don’t worry it’s SO easy and takes no time at all.  Here are the five simple steps that my husband did.

Materials needed: Outdoor anti-rust spray paint, sand paper, a cloth, and a water hose

1. Sand the patio furniture
   We used a sanding sponge and sand paper.  Make sure that it says it can be used for metal.
2. Spray off the paint debris with a water hose
3. Wipe down the patio furniture with a cloth
4. Spray paint the patio furniture
   We used the brand Valspar
5. Let it dry before use

That’s it! Simple right?  I love that this DIY painted outdoor patio furniture project is so easy to do and looks so amazing when finished.  Here’s the finished product!
