You can paint your kitchen chairs to have an industrial wrought iron look.
Wrought iron metal usually has a coating of flat or matte black paint that gives it a dull but durable finish. If you want to achieve this industrial look on your kitchen chairs, you can easily do so with matte or flat black spray paint. The hardest pair of the process is to prepare the kitchen chairs for painting. Once you have them prepared, you can quickly give them a wrought iron look. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Remove the upholstered panels from your chair's frame. In most cases, if you look under your chair, you will see screws that hold the seat pan onto the frame. Remove the screws to remove the upholstery. If you cannot remove the upholstery, cover the upholstery with plastic sheeting and painter's tape.
2. Sand the surface of the chair's frame with a sanding block to remove the old finish and to provide a rougher texture for proper paint adhesion.
3. Spray the surface of the chair's frame with flat black or matte black spray paint. Hold the can approximately 10 inches away from the frame to ensure smooth and consistent paint coverage. Allow 24 hours drying time.
4. Paint the surface of the chair's frame with a flat or matte acrylic hard coat spray. Do not use a semi-gloss or high-gloss hard coat, as it will make the black paint look shiny. The acrylic protects the paint from chipping off and allows you to wipe the chairs down when they get dirty. Again, allow 24 hours drying time before you reinstall the upholstery and use the chairs.
