Faux Painted Stainless Steel Kitchen Chairs are the easiest way to create a modern retro and updated look in the kitchen in your home for less than $50. This is a simple Faux Painted Stainless Steel Kitchen Chairs project; you don't need to have any experience with glazing or even painting.

These Faux Painted Stainless Steel Kitchen Chairs are the perfect way to update those cheap and outdated looking wood chairs you already have in your kitchen. I would only do this paint treatment on cheap or outdated kitchen Chairs! This will allow you to update your existing kitchen Chairs with a whole new look of stainless steel that everyone wants.

There are a few differ coats of paint in this Faux Painted Stainless Steel Kitchen Chairs Finish project, so you will need a few days to complete the entire home improvement project. You won't be working all day, but the drying paint will take some time.

I also recommend practicing this on a scrap piece of wood to see if you like the paint finish first.

To Paint Faux Painted Stainless Steel Kitchen Chairs You Will Need:

Primer

Sand Paper

Interior Grey Paint

Metallic Silver Glaze

Polyurethane (oil base)

Paint trays

Painter's Tape

Paint brushes

Paint Rollers

Chairs

The first step you are going to have to do is sand your Chairs with some sand paper. Wipe the excess dust away with a damp clothe.

Now, let this dry. Paint on your primer. Use a gray tinted primer if possible.

I recommend doing this with a foam roller. You will want to tape off any edges with painter's tape as well.

Now, let the primer dry.

Now, when applying any type of stainless steel or silver glaze to a kitchen Chairs is to choose the right base coat of interior latex paint.

You need to paint the kitchen Chairs with a base coat of interior latex paint in a color that will complement the silver stainless steel glaze.

Silver or stainless steel glazes applied over a base coat of white or black gives an unprofessional look that is streaky and unfinished looking.

Now, once your primer is dry you simply roll on the base interior coat of latex paint in the medium to dark gray color. Allow this paint color to dry. You may want to apply two coats.

Takeaways
  • Now, when applying any type of stainless steel or silver glaze use grey base paint.
  • You need to paint with a base coat of interior latex paint in a color that will compliment.
  • Now, once your primer is dry you simply roll on the base interior coat of latex paint.
