hi I'm Ryan with the furniture restoration place and today I'm going to show you how to paint outdoor metal lawn furniture whenever possible I like to turn the piece upside down to start with so you can get all the underside first and the key with painting out of a can is to use straight and even strokes so I'll show you how that does go up the legs piece like this could be tricky because there's so many little angles that you have to hit exactly straight on they won't get covered properly and it doesn't matter if you go over the same spots a couple of times you're going to have to on a piece like this you want to use overlapping strokes on a big flat surface like this and so after you coat the piece completely one time I'll let it dry and then do a complete second coat on the piece and then you'll be good to go and again my name is Ryan with the furniture restoration place and I just showed you how to paint metal outdoor furniture
