PROJECT #5
Pat you were right! My glider is the last of the projects in this Chalk Paint series. This is what it looked like before painting with Provence Chalk Paint.
All I did was dust it off with an old wide paint brush and slapped on one coat of paint.
By the time I finished painting the back the front was dry and ready to be sanded with 220 grit sandpaper.
This is a close up before sanding....
...and after sanding. I found several layers of paint...brown, yellow, and some white.
This is another close up before sanding....
...and the finished project. It took me all of 45 minutes from start to finish. For two metal chairs and the glider I used 1/2 quart of paint. You're going to LOVE this paint!

Thanks everyone. Stephanie you are going to love this paint!
Wow that does look awesome! I love that color!! The glider is very cool.
The color is awsome, me and my sister-inlaw both have dreams of getting our hands on one of those old gliders, it reminds me the summers of my childhood :)
So how well does chalk paint hold up outside??? I have almost the exact same glider and happen to have some paint on hand!
wow, okay, now THAT turned out awesome.
I liked the before, but LOVE the after. Great job. I didn't realize you could even use that paint outside.
Wow! That piece could definetly be on the cover of a gardening magazine. I can hardly wait to try chalk paint on a few pieces I have waiting for a transformation. Thanks for sharing. vickie

What a great piece! I came from Mustard Seed. I live in the metroplex, I have got to come to your store. I think I need this very color!
love chalk paint...I had read about outdoor use, but am wondering how it holds up? if there's rust? What about a sealer? I haven't had success with wax outdoors...just found your blog...excellent. Gayle
Oh!!! Fabulous!!! I want that glider to start with and that paint (and the color!) is GLORIOUS! LOVE IT!
Karla! I love this! I, too, have a glider like this, but with basket weave cut outs! Right now it's painted pale pink, but now I'm thinking, I might try primer red or the e-silk red! Thanks for showing this! :-)

Wow that looks awesome! I love that old metal furniture. It always reminds me of my great grandma Edith.
Wow!! This is fantastic!! I can't wait to try some of my outdoor things!!! REALLY nice!! I'm a new follower from Miss M's. :)
I didn't realize this could be used on outside projects. Not sealing huh? Sounds very easy!
Hi Karla!
This is beautiful and the effects of the sanding is gorgeous!!
Wow! I have to get some chalk paint , but I live in Ontario, Canada.
Do you know where I could order it from?
Thanks!

I have a couple of metal rocking chairs in my front courtyard and I wondered if chalk paint would work for outdoor furniture. Your glider is beautiful and the color is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing!
Hi, I found you on Pinterest. Your glider looks amazing! I have thought about painting stuff outside with Annie Sloan chalk paint, but didn't know if it would all just wash away... do you seal it after you paint it? Can't wait to read more of your posts!
