We got these chairs from my husbands Great Aunt who passed away last year. They had been sitting in her storage room not being used when I noticed them and asked if we could have them. We were told she hadn't left them to anyone so I called dibs they were too beautiful to not have.
I have no idea how long they were in the storage room but they were pretty grimy so I cleaned them with my Thieves Essential Oil Cleaner and just a bit of water to dilute it and all the built up residue came off. And the rest of my prep work included covering the chair legs with painters tape to protect them.
I knew I wanted to paint these chairs a nice bright clean neutral color so instead of going to with plain white I decided to go with Rust-oleum Heirloom White. I made sure to pick up the 2x Paint and Primer because this pink had to be covered up.
To make the job a little easier I picked up this spray nozzle from Rust-oleum to make the job easier. (and to save the manicure I just got the week before.)
I didn't do much better on the second chair....
But after putting on the second coat things are looking much better if I do say so myself.
I don't have any photos for you at this time because....that room needs a lot of work and some new paint to show these beauties off. I'm also planning on making some cute pillows for them using my pillow slipcover post Big Comfy Floor Pillows (I'll be making much smaller pillows of course.)
I can also tell you that so far sitting on them for the last two weeks enjoying drinks, conversation, and a little tv and with the hubs and the paint are holding up great!
It only cost four cans of spray paint and a the nozzle which was less than $20 total! Would you be willing to give a vinyl chair a makeover?

Awesome makeover! The white was the perfect choice for these MCM chairs! Pinning!

DeleteHow did you paint into the space where the back of the chair dips into the seat?
ReplyDeleteI just pulled the cushion away from the back as far as I could it wasn't much but you can't tell when someone is seated.
DeleteHi! I would love to know how these are holding up now after using them for a year. I have a chair I'd like to spray paint and wondering if it will hold up well!
ReplyDeleteHi LouAnn! Did you ever hear from Erin? Did you paint your chair? If so, how is it looking after these months?
DeleteHi LouAnn. So far there are only a few places that the paint has come off and it's only noticeable because my daughter started picking at it when she realized there was pink (her favorite color) underneath
DeleteI would also love to know how these chairs look after two years! Are they still looking the same or has the paint cracked? I want to paint my vinyl headboard but I want to know if the product is going to last. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI am not very experienced when it comes to spray paint. I happened to pick that EXACT same 2X Heirloom White paint for some vinyl seats on a couple barstools. It’s been over 3 days and they’re still very tacky!!!! Any advice!? I did 3 coats but some spots probably got more thick than that. Will these eventually dry?
ReplyDeleteI just did some vinyl chairs in this exact color and spray paint. I’m on the third coat and started with a primer, however, they feel kind of gritty to the touch. Can you recommend anything to apply to soften them up? Also, my chairs have nails tacks that I wouldn’t mind seeing bronze again, any ideas for getting the spray paint off those? I was considering maybe just painting over them with a metal looking spray paint and small paint brush. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
