How to paint a table with metal legs?
Before you begin painting your table with metal legs, it is important to gather the necessary supplies. You will need a can of metal primer and paint, a paintbrush, sandpaper, and a drop cloth or tarp. It is also helpful to have a screwdriver on hand in case you need to remove any decorative hardware from the table before painting.
Once you have gathered your supplies, begin by sanding the table down with medium-grit sandpaper. Be sure to sand evenly in order to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. Next, wipe the table down with a damp cloth to remove any dust particles.
Now you are ready to begin painting. Begin by applying a thin layer of metal primer to the table with a paintbrush. Work in small sections and be sure to smooth out any brushstrokes as you go. Allow the primer to dry for the amount of time specified on the can before applying the paint.
When the primer is dry, begin painting the table with the metal paint of your choice. Again, work in small sections and smooth out any brushstrokes. Allow the paint to dry for the amount of time specified on the can.
Once the paint is dry, you may reattach any hardware that was removed from the table. Allow the table to dry overnight before using it.
