Here’s what you need to spruce them up-

Paint thinner for your brush

Metal Bucket for brush-cleaning

A drop cloth and your bag o’ rags

Pants you don’t mind paint-i-fying

Sunscreen if you’re like me and refuse to wear shirts

If using red, wear a white t-shirt so you also get a Halloween costume out of this.

Something to pull your hair back

A good playlist (I recommend “Party Starters Radio by Rebecca Judd” on Apple Music).

Step 1: Judge your neighbor (How DARE you toss those chairs onto the street!)

Step 2: Take them.

Step 3: Clean them in the driveway with dish soap, an old sponge, and a kinky hose.

Step 4: Put down a drop cloth type thing to protect whatever you shouldn’t be painting on.

Step 5: Let those babies dry.

Step 6: Inspect the back and decide not to paint it that sides’ fine. If you DO want to paint it,

rough that smooth surface with sandpaper.

Step 6: Crack open your ENAMEL (a quart will do)

Step 7: Paint the first coat

Step 8: Let that dry (a hot sunny day is best- takes longer than latex but not that long)

Step 9: Paint the second coat

Step 10: Let them dry

Step 11: Text your friends and tell them you’re bringing them chairs.

Step 12: Sit in them with lemonades.
