![]() Next he screwed the 2x4 and the glider foot on to the glider.Īs you can see the spray paint on the glider didn’t hold up well at all and we never got the wood feet painted. The JTS removed the glider foot/stand and cut a 2x4 just a tad longer than the foot. We came up with a plan to raise it up just a bit. I don’t know if that is because they are rougher than the other metal or what.Īs I mentioned earlier the glider part was missing and that made the bench set really low. You can see in this photo how the metal grids are discolored. The paint covered the arms and supporting rails perfectly but not the body of the glider. I found out by accident if I turn the seat cushions where the ties are facing each other then the cushions fit perfectly. I had a problem trying to find cushions because regular bench cushions were too short and three of the seat cushions together were too long. I think I was on can 3 when I stopped.Īnd this is what the glider looked like with the $5 cushions from Walmart. I started spraying paint and kept spraying paint. Cardboard boxes come in handy for a lot of things. ![]() I found several ways to prop up the glider so I could paint all sides. ![]() I've used it before on furniture knobs and on the Little Tikes Playhouse Makeover where I painted the door knob cherry red. The turquoise was too blue and the yellow was too bright. I first selected a turquoise color and then a yellow and sprayed the bottom of the glider. I decided it would be a quick and easy job just to use spray paint for the makeover. I tried brushing on a little paint and it didn’t cover well at all and left a ton of brush marks. I haven't used this product before but I'm assuming it does what it claims. Looking at the bottom of the glider shows me that the original color was yellow.Īfter removing the loose paint I sprayed the rusty areas with RustOleum Rust Reformer ( find it here on Amazon). After that I did a go-over with sandpaper. The JTS used a steel brush and removed most of the loose paint. The JTS and I worked hard to remove the loose rust. I thought about leaving it rusty but decided it would look great covered in a bold color. I keep referring to it as a glider but the bottom gliding part is long gone. I spotted the metal glider with the rusty blue paint at my favorite junk shop and it was love at first sight. It's also Furniture Fixer Upper Day and we all love that! I'm taking you through the whole process today. So I repainted the glider and now it looks fantastic. The paint did not cover well and the paint started fading after a couple of months. I first painted this vintage metal glider using spray paint. The paint sprayer can be used to apply primer, paint, and sealer.
