Comments (6)Sombreuil - with an unlimited budget, would have done that. Limited budget, this is a DIYer. :) That's why I was looking for a $10 chair on Craigslist in the first place. :) I did the first stripping today. Can now tell that the top layer was black paint, then a layer of white paint below that and at the base is silver metal (not silver paint). I took the chair apart after scrubbing. It appears that the entire chair may be aluminum, not iron. Even the bolts and nuts appear to be aluminum. Here are photos. (The photos make it appear white but it is actually silver under that black paint.) I will need to strip it again. Now I'm not sure if I will paint it once it is cleaned up (or if aluminum even requires painting?) Thanks for any advice for a do-it-yourselfer! :) Carol...See MoreCaned barrel chair; upholstery redo. Pics!
Comments (17)suziq-92....I originally planned to look for a match, but didn't find anything "exact". So I purchased 2 off white leather club /theater chairs and I'll use this as an accent chair. I may make matching throw pillows with the left over fabric tho.....:0)...See More- 9 years ago
