Lacquer garden furniture - That's how you make your wooden furniture look
If the garden furniture made of wood does not look nice, a new coat of paint often helps. With fresh paint you can even work up unsightly pieces of furniture so that they look like new. What should be considered when painting the garden furniture?
Lacquer garden furniture - step by step
What is needed?
Sand wood first
Simply painting over the garden furniture is not advisable. The paint would flake off quickly. You must first remove the old color completely. You can use a wire brush or sandpaper for this. For stubborn paint stains a spatula helps.
Then vacuum all dirt particles and rub the wood clean with a dry microfiber cloth.
Priming wooden garden furniture
Applying a primer ensures that the wood surface is beautifully smooth. Then the color will last better and you will not have to repaint the garden furniture every year.
The primer is painted with a brush. If possible, just stroke in one direction.
Then the piece of furniture has to dry well for several hours. Put it in a place that is safe from use and also protected from leaves, dust and other debris.
How to paint garden furniture properly
Only when the garden chair or garden table is completely dry, you can repaint the wood. Spread the wood paint evenly with a brush.
For very absorbent types of wood, it may be necessary to apply a second coat of varnish. To do this you need to treat the piece of furniture again with a little sandpaper if it is completely dry, and then paint it again.
Do not put the garden furniture in the designated place until the varnish has completely dried. Make sure that the furniture is not used before. Wood varnish is difficult to remove from clothing.
Tips
If the wood of the garden furniture turns dark, the furniture can be freshened up by applying Kraftreiniger for hardwood. The work may only be carried out with gloves. After refreshing, the wood must be treated with maintenance oil.
