WHERE TO BUY

Other Supplies You'll Need

Folding Table
Folding Chairs
Painter's Tape
Medium Grit Sandpaper
2 Drop Cloths or Tarps

Step 1

In a well-ventilated space, cover a flat surface with a drop cloth or tarp.

Step 2

Before starting, read the Krylon labels for safety, application, and dry time instructions.

Step 3

In a separate area from where you will spray paint, ensure the surface of the table and chairs is clean, dull, and dry. Use medium grit sandpaper to smooth any rough metal surfaces if necessary, wipe clean to remove all debris.

Step 4

Place two of the chairs on the covered surface and spray paint using COLORmaxx in Satin Oxford Blue.

Step 5

Place the other two chairs on the covered surface. Ensure there is enough distance between the chairs that were just painted to avoid overspray. Spray paint these two chairs using COLORmaxx in Matte Aqua.

Step 6

Once dry to handle, set chairs aside and allow to fully dry.

Step 7

Using painter’s tape and a drop cloth or tarp, divide the table in half (covering one half).

Step 8

Spray paint the exposed half of the table using COLORmaxx in Satin Oxford Blue.

Step 9

Remove the painter’s tape and drop cloth/tarp once the COLORmaxx Satin Oxford Blue is dry to the touch. Removing the tape when the paint is dry to touch will prevent any chipping or peeling of the paint.

Step 10

Once the COLORmaxx Satin Oxford Blue is completely dry, cover that side of the table with painter’s tape and the drop cloth or tarp.

Step 11

Spray paint the exposed half of the table using COLORmaxx in Matte Aqua.

Step 12

Remove the painter’s tape and drop cloth/tarp once the COLORmaxx in Matte Aqua.

Step 13

Allow to fully dry.

Step 14

Use your upcycled table and chairs for all your tailgating needs!
