I have had this table top for years! One of my dear friends gave it to me. My mom had an old patio table that needed a new top. We put the mesh table top on these metal legs. Now it's time for paint!
I actually ended up just using the Blue Harbor color and the sealer.
Before I stared spray painting, I prepped the tabletop. It was extremely dusty and dirty after first being stored in the corn crib and then left outside in the elements. I washed both sides of the mesh patio tabletop with a gentle soap and then rinsed it off with water.
I used painter’s tape to cover the metal cap around the hole for the umbrella. I didn’t want to get Blue Harbor paint on the metal cap
When working with spray paint, it is very important to shake the can very well before using.
Use a sweeping motion to apply the paint. Being far enough away and using the sweeping motion helps prevent the paint from building up and possibly dripping.
Hold the can far enough away from the surface, generally 8 to 10 inches away.
Once the tabletop was completely dry, I applied a light coat of the matte clear sealer. The sealer helps protect the paint from chipping, peeling or fading. The coat of sealer needs to dry completely.
