Revitalize your outdoor bench with this DIY project from Blain’s Farm & Fleet.<\/h2>\n\n\n

This weekend is the perfect time to spruce up that old wooden bench. With a few supplies and easy instructions, you’ll pull off this DIY project in no time. Follow these easy steps from Rust-Oleum<\/a> to transform your outdoor bench into a statement piece for your porch or patio. Plus it’s easy to do, so you can be proud of a job well done.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to Paint an Outdoor Bench:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n

1. Prep the area<\/strong> – Choose a well-ventilated area–preferably outside–and cover nearby objects with drop cloth<\/a> to protect them from any debris or spray paint mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Prep the bench<\/strong> – Knock off any loose and old paint with a quick sanding. An Orbital Sander<\/a> is lightweight and easy to use. Next, remove residue from prepared surfaces with soap and water. Rinse and let the bench dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Prime the bench<\/strong> – It’s recommended that you prime the bench by applying one coat of Rust-Oleum Clean Metal Primer Spray Paint<\/a>. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the label for specific preparation, application, drying times, and clean up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Finish the bench<\/strong> – Apply one coat of Rust-Oleum Textured Spray Paint<\/a> in whichever color you want. Make sure that all corners, edges, and heavily pitted areas are adequately covered. Apply a second coat, if necessary, within two hours or after 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your simple wooden bench has now been transformed into something more beautiful. A simple coat of paint can really make all the difference. For more DIY painting projects, visit our Painting & Staining<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
