Weathered metal patio set before cleaning and repainting
Instructions:
* Prepare the Surface:
* Clean: Use a wire brush to remove any loose rust. For stubborn rust, you might need a wire wheel attachment for a drill.
* Sand: Lightly sand the surface with 120-grit sandpaper to create a smooth texture and help the primer adhere better and use a file for more stubborn or tricky areas 
* Clean Again: Wipe away any dust or debris with a damp cloth.
* Prime:
* Apply: Apply a coat of Granny B's Block and Tackle  to the entire patio set. Follow the primer directions for the cleaned metal surface and check whether a corrosion-resistant metal primer is needed for outdoor use
* Dry: Allow the primer to dry completely according to the product instructions.
* Paint:
* Apply: Apply the first coat of Granny B's / Polka Paint. Use a brush and roller for the different surfaces surfaces, a sprayer makes life so much easier - we love the Ryobi cordless sprayer!

* If you’re using a sprayer, dilute the paint with water until it’s slightly runnier than melted ice-cream!


* Dry: Let the paint dry completely before applying the second coat.
* Second Coat: Apply a second coat of paint for a more even and durable finish.
* Seal:
* Apply: Once the paint is completely dry, apply a coat of Polka.Seal. This will protect the paint from the elements and enhance its durability.
* Dry: Allow the clear coat to dry completely.
Tips:
* Weather: Choose a dry, sunny day for painting to ensure proper drying.
* Drop Cloths: Protect your patio or surrounding area with drop cloths to prevent paint spills.
* Multiple Coats: For a more durable and long-lasting finish, consider applying additional coats of paint and seal.
* Granny B's Brushes: Granny B's offers a variety of brushes specifically designed for their paints. These brushes can help ensure a smooth and even application.
By following these steps and using Granny B's high-quality products, you can transform your rusted metal patio set into a beautiful and durable piece of outdoor furniture.
