Painted black chairs

Painting 1 chair is easy, but painting 6 chairs takes a little more effort and leaves your painting hand sore at the end of the day.

I painted my chairs black a couple of years ago.  (I did it the easy way - spray paint).

I offered to paint chairs for a friend and thought as it was so hot I didn't want to be in and out of the garage all day doing more coats of spray paint.

The chairs looked like this to begin with.

The living room painting studio - first I did the back spindles, frame and the seat...

Then I put them on a table to more easily do the legs and the spindles on the bottom.

Do you like my spiderman drop cloth? 

I used this primer...

4 down, 2 to go

then on goes the black paint....

Now a day later, all dry and ready to go.  I am going to put a coat of wax on to hopefully protect the finish, as my friend has 3 little kids so they will be well used.

This is the same paint I used on our bed.  I like the shiny but not too glossy finish.
