Add a pop of color to breakfast bar stools. See how Rust-Oleum spray paint lets you quickly and easily modernize your kitchen stools.

  1. Always use spray paint in a well-ventilated area and cover the floor with a drop cloth to protect it from overspray.
  2. Lightly sand the metal surfaces, then wipe clean with a cloth. 
  3. Apply a light coat of Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Spray Paint (we used Satin Ink Blue), adding more light coats within 1 hour or waiting 48 hours between coats.
  4. Add a protective top coat of Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Clear.
  5. Let the spray paint fully dry before using your updated kitchen bar stools.

Other Materials:

  • Drop Cloth, Plastic Tarp or Kraft Paper
