This is one of a pair of chairs that I have had for probably 20 years. My daughter used them in her apartment for awhile but when she got married they came back to me. I thought I had some "ugly" pictures when the chairs were a mess but turns out I didn't. So the picture you see here is after they have been cleaned up and are ready for paint. I snapped this in the painting booth at the automotive shop where I took them to be painted. The base is metal and I had painted that myself when my daughter was using them. But because the top is molded plastic I wanted to be sure the paint would hold up. I thought automotive paint would be more durable even though it is quite abit more expensive. Then there's the fact that it's not a DIY project...at least not one I wanted to try. So the cost of reviving these chairs started to grow. Anyway, here they are after a professional paint application. As long as I was having them painted...
