I have 2 of these chairs and they were originally green and white so your color choices were spot on!

In reply to Melinda. I think they're from the 50's. 60's at the latest. I'm in search of one of the matching gliders for my front porch right now :)

In reply to Karen. I painted that chair almost two years ago and the rust has not poked back through, so I count it as a success :) The Rusty Metal Primer seems to have done its job. I would say it was moderately rusty in spots on the front, but the back of the chair where water might sit was the worst. If you have a chair that is totally rusted, I would say to at least knock off most of the rust with a wire brush or sandpaper before putting the primer on it though. But, yes that primer stuff seems to do what they say it does!

Hi, it looks great. I have one that I'm considering doing , but I'm wondering why I don't have to do any sanding. Other sites give that as one of the steps. Much easier not to. Any thoughts on yeah or nay? Thanks.

You did a fabulous job painting your retro chair, Pam! I know all about spray painted shoes....and ankles...and the neighbor's house. 🙂 I love the color you chose since it looks so nice with your other vintage accessories. And it goes well with your dog, too!

Great choice of colors and great patience! I think your "visitor" must have been exhausted just watching the process!
