How to Refurbish Metal Patio Furniture

[@glittergoldandglam]

I was having kind of a rough day, so I decided to throw myself into restoring my patio set, which had some rust. I have to tell you that there was something very soothing about your voice and the calm, straight to the point way that you filmed this video. Thanks for posting this. I’m off to go restore mine now.

They also make the paint that you can brush on. I think I’d go that route, using a drop cloth to save the grass.

[@cind4846]

Are you going to replace the painted grass?

[@jennief7114]

LOL! After one growth spurt, mowing, will be gone!

@@jennief7114 oh good what a relief, that gave me a bit of anxiety! 😅

Is your next “how to” video on how to re-establish your lawn after spray painting your lawn furniture?

[@zavinasoukani6397]

You should do the bottom then the top

[@burrheadjr]

That make a lot of sense, don't know why I didn't think of that. It worked out for me though.

@@burrheadjr it looked very good 👍🏻 well done Forgot to mention it

[@lj4001]

@@burrheadjr yep I do that sometime, only bc I fear I might runout in the middle of spraying or have a sCan malfunction 🤪

[@jaystarks4907]

I did this with my storm / security doors a few years ago. I found my angle grinder with wire brush worked much better.

[@jimhart4488]

You left the job half done. Rust Reformer is not paint and is not intended to be a final surface, nor is it a primer. Its only purpose is to transform rust to a paintable surface. It should be applied to rusted areas, then the whole piece should be primed and painted.

How did you get the glass out? i have a similar table that has 6 sides but it has a lip on the top that holds the glass in place.

[@burrheadjr]

Mine didn't have any lip on the top, so I could just lift it up.

[@larrywilson8290]

The lip is removable. Look underneath the table top. There are screws that hold it on.

[@hicutefayson3101]

How do you get the paint off your grass?

[@burrheadjr]

I removed that whole section a few months later to build out and expand my patio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHSUqHSqaLKjhKM

[@adventureswithbranisha8511]

Was that a sander you used to remove the rust ?

[@BillSW]

did your pants turn black after sitting on chairs on a warm day?

[@larrywilson8290]

How long do you think it will be before the rust returns? I need to do this as well, but I wonder if I am just delaying the inevitable. Everything will just fall apart one day. I now that automobile restorers use a product that rids metal of the rust for good. Don't remember the name of the product, though. It's a complicated method using several products before the final finish.

[@burrheadjr]

I don't know, but I have had thesefor a year and a half after the treatment, and so far, it still looks like it does on the video, and I leave these chairs out in the elements.

[@jimhart4488]

Rust Reformer is not paint and should not be used as a final surface. It should only be applied to rusted areas before painting an priming as usual. As a final coat, it may be good for 4-5 years as opposed to 20+ years if primed and painted.

Looks great, awesome job looks brand new!👍👍

[@burrheadjr]

Thank you, and anyone can do this as well

[@Dame48Buick]

@@burrheadjr , your welcome. Definitely on my list of things to do this spring.... Happy New Year to you from Rhode Island 👍

[@rs2386]

Thanks

[@debbiejohnson2789]

You sprayed all over the plant that was right behind the chair you were spraying.

[@xiaopeapod]

I feel bad for both the plant and the lawn. 😅

[@TreasureTrail]

We use acid on rust. Great educational video.

[@digrazioable]

Oversprayed your house, lawn, and more. Maybe a blanket in the middle of the yard? Sheeeesh

[@happydays7143]

Worksheets..........🤔 ????

[@debbiejohnson2789]

Very nice job. Thank you !

[@GenevieveBrownlow]

Thanks for the great tips.

[@eddieespinosa8743]

I know his ground and vegetation will never rust

[@hazeltourabaly5202]

Omg! Isn’t part of the preparation to cover the surface that the item is being spray on. The lawn and plant will surely suffer now?! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂👎🏻

[@burrheadjr]

I already knew when I was doing this project that I would be removing that part of the sod for my next project, take a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHSUqHSqaLKjhKM

[@timsutherland4033]

Sandblast it in 20 minutes cost you like 30 quid then spray it

[@sll-tt6bj]

Be sure to put your chair on a piece of scrap plywood or plastic and not spray your grass

[@happydays7143]

The plant ! the plant !,🙈

[@MrGonzo4000]

Good job you were worn out after that huh lol

[@DeeptaR]

Wow! 👌
