Tips
Setting up the HomeRight sprayer takes less than 5 minutes and cleanup is so simple. I can’t even imagine painting this chair by hand. Now that would be painful! The sprayer allows you to achieve a custom finish very quickly.
For outdoor use, choose latex exterior paint as the base for your paint color. Because the paint is so durable, you can get away with using just the exterior paint and not worrying about the topcoat!
For greater durability, spray your freshly painted chair with a glossy coat of polyurethane.
