This one was error and trial, I wanted to give a try for chalk paint, I made another batch of my own, some paint from Lowes and got to painting my bar stools, once one stool had couple of coats of paint, I decided that the the paint was just to bright.
Almost forgot to mention that I did not sand the piece because I wanted to see if the paint will adhere, but I was wrong. Once it dried paint could be easily scratched off. I had to start the process all over again, but this time I have used spray primer. Put the chairs together to see if I like the white look: Nahhh.
Then I went back to store and got a sample paint but in much darker yellow almost orange, mixed with my old yellow and results came out beautifly.
I think for now I am satisfied with the look and will keep these chairs untouched for a while :)
Are these the ingolf barstools? Also, you did end up sanding right? If you ended up sanding, was it solid wood underneath?
ReplyDeleteI just sanded mine the legs are wooden, the seat and rounded back are fiber board.
ReplyDeleteI have ingolf bar stools with the X on the backrest, but I don’t like it. You seem to have one that doesn’t. Did you take it off or did it come that way?
ReplyDeleteI’m curious about the same thing!
Deletei see that your seats are padded. Did you add the padding and if so how did you do it?
