Deep Blue Rocking Chair Makeover
Today, we're diving into a special DIY project: refinishing a wood rocking chair with Beyond Paint. This rocking chair holds a lot of sentimental value, so we're excited to give it a fresh new look while preserving its cherished memories. If you’re looking to breathe new life into your own furniture, Beyond Paint offers a fantastic solution available both online and at your local Lowe's.
Step 1: Cleaning the Chair
Before we begin painting, it's crucial to clean the chair thoroughly. We'll use a cloth and Zep Degreaser, a recommended product for use with Beyond Paint. Make sure to remove all grease and dirt to ensure the best adhesion. One of the best things about Beyond Paint is that you don’t need to strip, sand, or prime the surface thanks to its all-in-one formula.
Step 2: Choosing the Color
For this project, we chose the beautiful Deep Blue, one of Beyond Paint's bestsellers. The rich color will give our rocking chair a striking new look. Beyond Paint's thick consistency and all-in-one formula (which includes a primer, bonder, and sealer) provide excellent coverage, even over the original orange-colored wood.
Step 3: Applying the Paint
We'll start by using a 3/8 inch microfiber roller for the larger, easy-to-reach areas. For the intricate parts and hard-to-reach spots, we'll switch to a brush. This combination ensures that the paint is applied smoothly and evenly across the entire chair.
Step 4: Letting the Paint Dry
After the first coat, we’ll let the paint dry for two to four hours. Once dry, we'll apply a second coat. With just two coats, our rocking chair is beautifully transformed with a vibrant deep blue finish.
Step 5: Adding Extra Durability
Since this rocking chair will be used primarily outdoors, we want to ensure it can withstand the elements. Three to five days after painting, we applied two thin coats of Beyond Paint's Multi-Purpose Sealer for extra weather durability.
The Final Look
And there you have it! A stunning rocking chair makeover using Beyond Paint, without the hassle of stripping, sanding, or priming. We hope you love this transformation as much as we do. Remember, you can find Beyond Paint products for your next DIY project online, in stores, and now at your local Lowe's.
