I brushed the chairs with a stiff washing up brush first to remove any dirt and dust and then vaccumed the dust from them.
The first chair is a nursing chair as it has a removable seat where you can store bits and bobs.
The Lloyd Loom Style Nursing Chair Before Painting ...
With the seat removed ...
I forgot to take a photo of the other chair before painting but this is a photo of it with one coat of paint
Before painting I taped up the brass feet of the nursing chair to keep them clean and removed the seat.
I have used a car spray paint in white gloss which was only £1 per tin in a local cheap shop. I shook the tins well before use and did even coats over each chair. There were a lot of fumes from the paint so I recommend opening windows or doing them outside!
So far I am on the 3rd tin of paint and have managed to do 2 full coats on each chair. There were a few drips where the paint went on heavily and I used a small brush to ease these away. I think the chairs will need at least 2 more coats so I will probably have to buy more paint now.
