Looking to update that garden furniture? Granted we did just celebrate Labor Day and will be putting the furniture away soon. I look at this refresher as a way to be prepared for next Spring any Summer! Think about how surprised you'll be when you open you shed and see the beautiful sunshine-y furniture awaiting for you to put out and you don't have to really do anything but possibly dust it off!

Materials needed:

• Electric Sander
• Medium Coarse Sandpaper
• 1 Can of Primer
• 2 colors of Acrylic Paint
• 1 Can of Acrylic Paint Thinner
• 2 Preval Sprayers
• Painters tape
• 1 Can of Finish or Sealer
• Ventilation mask

What to do:

1. Wearing your ventilation mask, attach sandpaper to electric sander to remove  excess paint from the furniture.
2. Once the old paint has been removed, fill your Preval reservoir with the primer to prepped the piece(s)
3. Mix your lighter color with thinner in a 2:1 paint to thinner solution in your Preval reservoir.
4. Spray the entire piece with the base color. Allow to dry for several hours.
5. Tape off the sections of the piece that you do not want to be sprayed the second color with the painters tape.
6. Mix your second paint color with thinner  in a 2:1 paint to thinner solution in your Preval reservoir.
7. Spray evenly along taped sections
8. Allow second color to dry before removing the tape.
9. Since the piece will be outside for the Spring / Summer season, or should you decide to leave your furniture pieces outside year, I recommend taking some finish or sealer to finish the paint to assure your furniture lasts longer!
