Behr Honey Bird (Semi-Gloss) & Rustoleum Soft Iron (Flat) |
The only recommendation I have for painting a park bench (in addition to prepping the piece) is remember to prime the wood before painting it. This is the one and only time that I've skipped primer and I ended up painting seven (yes, as in 7!!!!) coats to entirely cover the natural wood color underneath. Otherwise, painting the wood slats was very straightforward and re-assembling my bench alone was a breeze. I also used used Minwax polycrylic over all the wood slats.
Here's a before and after shot:
Can you believe the difference?
