Wrought Iron Patio Furniture
How do I restore and old wrought iron patio furniture set.?
I’ve recently purchased an old wrought iron patio set and would like to restore it to a new-looking black finish.
First, you will need to remove the old finish plus all of the rust that is on there. You need a bare metal to start a good finish with.
You can go to Sears and buy a sand blaster for about $75 or rent one for about $7 a day . Add sand to it and blast off the old finish and rust too. I took an old bench I had to a fabrication shop here locally and they sand blasted it clean for me for $15. Shops that weld and do “ironwork” also do sand blasting.
Once clean, its ready to start finishing it. The best finish around is that on Automobiles. No question about it, its the best and most durable and costs are very reasonable for such a finish.
So buy a quart of Automotive primer. Spray the set with a coat or two using an ordinary spray gun.
Then apply the base coat color. Here you have a big choice of colors, but you say black, so spray it with base coat black.
Then spray on the clear coat Polyurethane with a bit of hardener in it. Give it two coats of this finish.
You will have the best set around and it will last for at least 20 years out in the sun, rain, snow, anywhere. The total cost of this is about the same as going to Lowes and buying some kind of a paint that will surely not stay on there because it is not resistant to the sun, rain, and weather like an auto paint is.
