We didn't sand them a bit. First ...Hey Janice!<br />We didn't sand them a bit. First I was kind of scared to sand them seeing how old they are-who knows what kind of stain they used. I wiped down the wood with a vinegar and water mixture. After letting them dry, my husband spray-primed them and then spray painted them with a few coats of paint. So much easier than with a paintbrush and from my experience a much smoother finish. Good luck!alison {semi-fab lane}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18143324779685527378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456348128676344933.post-44939821210904506872011-02-25T21:07:26.740-06:002011-02-25T21:07:26.740-06:00I've come back to this post b/c I've been ...I've come back to this post b/c I've been contemplating purchasing some old chairs to repaint and reupholster them. Can you tell me how you or your husband (under your direction of course) went about repainting the chairs? Do you have to sand down every inch of the chair? I would imagine that spray painting would give it a more even coat. Any advise to coutureandcrayons@gmail.com would be wonderful.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />JaniceCouture and Crayonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09167513804370683994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8456348128676344933.post-16826522275434463062011-01-04T23:01:53.495-06:002011-01-04T23:01:53.495-06:00simply amazing!
