Checkboard Easy Chair-Complete Makeover

Instructions

1. Wipe down your furniture with a damp sponge.  Let air dry outside.  Keep the furniture outside due to the painting process.

   • 

2. Cover the wood legs with 3M blue tape.  Pay special attention next to the fabric as over spray can easily get on the wood legs. Remove the seat pad and put aside.

   • 

3. Place furniture on one side and spray paint evenly, then move over to the other side.  You will be adding a number of layers so do not worry about changing sides.  Once done with the sides put the chair on its legs and continue to spray paint using even strokes until you cover the front, back and arms of the chair. 

   • 

4. Continue to layer the blue paint until the chair is covered thoroughly.

5. Remove the blue tape and spray the Rustoleum Metallic paint on the wood legs to complete the chair.  This will give it the final touch.

6. Its time to make the checkerboard pattern on the seat pad. Keep the seat pad seperate from the finished chair. You will need to give it 4-5 coats of the Rustoleum blue spray paint to get good coverage. Let it dry. 

7. We then are going to add 3M blue tape in a checkerboard pattern across the top of the seat pad.  Spray the Rustoleum white spray in the areas that remained exposed. Give it 3-4 coats and let dry.  

   • 

8. Remove the blue tape slowly.  There will likely be over spray, you can easily go back in and spray the blue paint in those areas.

   • 

9. Once dry, place back on the chair.
   
   Note: the basket pictured was sprayed with Rustoleum Universal Metallic in Rubbed Bronze paint to match the legs of the chair.
