How to Refinish Metal
- 1). Remove the rust from your metal furniture or other metal pieces using steel wool or a wire brush.
- 2). Purchase naval jelly from your local hardware store. Put on your gloves and safety glasses before applying the naval jelly.
- 3). Use a small paintbrush to apply the naval jelly to all rusty spots on your furniture. The rust should be dissolved in roughly 15 minutes.
- 4). Wash the rust and naval jelly residue off with a hose. Allow the metal to dry before proceeding.
- 5). Apply metal primer paint to the surface of the metal with a paintbrush. Allow the paint to dry before continuing.
- 6). Apply two coats of metal spray paint finish in the color of your choice. Allow time for the finish to dry between coats.
