Rusted Metal Wrought Iron Patio Furniture Made New Again DIY... Trash to Treasure!

This how-to video shows the easy steps you can follow to turn rusted wrought iron patio furniture back to the original beauty it once had.
I purchased 5 cans of Rustoleum Rust preventative primer spray paint, and 10 cans of Krylon Shiny black spray paint with primer. I barely had enough black spray paint to finish the job.
The umbrella was $58 from Walmart. It is the Home and Garden brand, and even swivels. Lowe's and Home Depot carry an equivalent for over $100.
The seat cushions are from Amazon. I paid $98 (with tax and shipping). The brand is called Pillow Perfect, and they are made for outdoor furniture.

I have the same table, and then 6 chairs (with the open lattice work, similar to the table), and a lounge chair to do! About how many cans of spray paint (both the primer and the top coat) did you need to complete your table and 4 chairs?

@YouCanDoIt2 4 ай бұрын

Hi! Thank you so much for watching the video ☺️. It's been awhile since I did that video...but, if I remember correctly... I used about 4 cans of each primer and top coat for the entire project. With what you are describing...you might want to purchase 7 cans of each and take back what you do use. You Can Do It 👍

Going to work on a small patio table I was just gifted today! It’s rusted around the corners and underneath. The hardest part is deciding if I want to paint everything silver or black lol. It’s mosaic on the top. I’m obsessed!

Does the primer allow you to change the color? I have a patio set in good shape but don’t like the color

@YouCanDoIt2 4 ай бұрын

HI. Thank you for watching. If you apply a primer, you can easily hide the original color of the patio set, and then be able to apply a new color to your furniture. The primer helps to prepare the surface for the new topcoat color. Just a few cans of spray paint and you have a whole new set!! 👍

@YouCanDoIt2 Жыл бұрын

Hi Kelly. Thank you for watching. That is a great question. I used three cans of the brown primer and four cans of black top coat for the entire project. Is seven cans of spray paint altogether. I hope that information helps 👍

What sander did you use?

@YouCanDoIt2 5 ай бұрын

Hi. The sander is a Dewalt brand sander. It works great and the sanding discs are super easy to swap out, as the sander has a Velcro-type surface that grabs hold of the sanding discs. Hope that information helps 👍

....and if you were paying yourself labor fees, the finished cost would have gone up.😉 But hey, a lot of us do DIY makeovers and don't "pay ourselves". How many cans of each paint did you use for this project?

@YouCanDoIt2 2 жыл бұрын

@@sirenenlied Hi B.B. I totally would agree at first...but, then I did some research and realized that a five piece wrought iron table and chairs with umbrella starts at around $700 and can go all the way up to $2000 for a similar table and chairs. Prices these days are obnoxious. I still thought $175 was a bit much to pay for something that needed to be refinished. However, I now have a piece that will last pretty much a lifetime as long as I continue to touch up any spots that chip off. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! 👍

Dare I say that it's worth a million dollars? 😆 In all honesty...I just looked similar wrought iron table and chairs up on Amazon and Wayfair. Similar models are on sale from between $600 and $800...so, I would have to say that for the price and a few cans of paint...this was definitely worth it! 👍

If you are using a paint with primer, why do you need an additional primer?

@YouCanDoIt2 10 ай бұрын

Hi, thank you for watching the video. That is a good question. I like to do a "primer only" spray as the base, because the combo sprays (primer & top coat) don't seem to adhere as good to the metal as it would if there was a solid primer base on the metal first. Hope this information helps👍

You really need to be wearing a mask (R95, P95 or P100) when spray painting. Those paints can cause permanent brain damage.

@gregdrivesdriver5104 25 күн бұрын

The real winners was the person that sold a rusty table and chairs for $175. The paint company also scored on this. Can you imagine 15 cans of paint at about $15/can (Biden's economy) = $225. Now we're up for $400. Plus umbrella, plus seats. Oh wow. By the time you're done, you've invested $1000 into an old, used, rusty set. PASS
