Repainting chairs





     So i found 4 bar stools for the basement about a year ago with the intentions on painting them sports themed.  Of course New England teams that is. Right before the holiday i decided it was finally time to get going on the project.  Heres what I did.  Hit the nearby Home depot and picked up some supplies.  A decent paintbrush, I would recommend a slanted edge brush for the spindles/legs. Upon searching for some colors in their sports color section then realized i really dont need much paint at all. So i went with the Glidden testers (below) and got the three colors that I needed for the Patriots chair. I then picked up some gripper grey primer because I was using red. Red is a very difficult color and requires many coats to achieve its true color.

I only primed where my red paint was going but, thats me being lazy so its entirely up to you. After painting the chair let it dry for for at least 24 hrs. I bought a decal from a local store and here it is ...
