In April this year, I reviewed our outdoor patio set. We've had this set for over 5 years now, and it has served us well. You can read that review here: Outdoor Patio Set-Reviewed.
This year, when I uncovered the table, I noticed that the tabletop had become dull and faded. I made several attempts to clean it to restore its original luster, but they all failed. There was no rust on the table; only the top had faded.
Outdoor furniture is expensive, and there was no way I was going to buy a new set just because the top was faded. So, I went to the hardware store and found a Rust-Oleum textured metallic spray paint to match our patio set.
We moved the table into the garage, and our grandson Bobby sprayed the top with two light coats of paint. We let the first coat dry overnight before we did the 2nd coat.
Here is the finished tabletop, looking brand new. If your patio chairs, tables, or benches are structurally sound and in good shape but simply look weathered, don't replace them just yet. A couple of cans of Rust-Oleum are all you need to bring them back to looking new.
Rust-Oleum offers a variety of colors and finishes to choose from.

Thanks for this information, Sam. It's good to know there is a product that can restore the 'new' look to good, but weathered patio furniture.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Sam! Rust-Oleum is a fabulous product and is a wonderful way to extend the life of outdoor furniture and decor.
ReplyDeleteOh and I meant to say, I love the looks of the textured metallic spray paint. I haven't seen it before. Very pretty finish on your table top.
DeleteSam, your table looks fantastic — like new! What material is the tabletop that you spray painted with the Rust-Oleum?
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret, The table top is metal, but for some reason finish became dull and faded. There was no rust on the top at all. Now it looks like it's new.
DeleteSam that looks fantastic. My hubby is big on various products like this, including this one. It makes a huge difference to give a piece a simple pick-me-up. My hubby has refinished many pieces over the years too with this wonderful product.
ReplyDeleteSam, this is a great way to spruce up the patio furniture!
