A friend of mine gave me this chair she was going to throw it away. I decided I needed this chair in my life. All it took was three cans of yellow spray primer/ paint from Lowes each can cost about four dollars. We lightly sanded the chair, then sprayed it with several coats of the paint. We let it dry about an hour between each coat and then let it dry over night. It is now sitting in my office and the paint seems to be holding up just fine. The color just pops since it is very bright.
