We removed all the floor registers some time ago and wire brushed them and sanded them to remove the rust and prepare them for painting. Then we sat them back in their holes until we had a calm day to do some spray painting. Today was that day, finally (we actually bought the paint for this project over a year ago).
We had to wire brush and wipe them before painting could start, but that was relatively quick, and the painting was a breeze too, using Rustoleum spray paint. They're a bit lighter than the original color, but they look much cleaner and nicer.
Next we tackled our aluminum folding step. It's a great step, very light and sturdy, but soon after we got it, the non-slip tape started to come up. After a while so many of the strips were torn up that we decided to replace the tape. In the process of removing the old tape, we also managed to chip the finish, so we decided to paint the step before replacing the tape. For this we chose a great Rustoleum product, Hammered Spray in silver. This paint is supposed to hide flaws like chips and scratches--and it does. We were very pleased by the finished look.
After we finished our painting, we sat down to enjoy our new Strongback chairs.
Today was a lovely day, sunny and warm. I got my Gelish Basix kit I ordered, but I'm still waiting for the curing lamp. We also got a nice thank you note from Kelley.
