Re: how do I refurbish this bench please?

Hello @suzibish 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about refurbishing your steel bench.

 

To refurbish your steel bench the old chipping paint must be removed first, I propose using a Josco 100mm Strip-It Wheel in combination with a detail sander. Using these two tools you'll be able to thoroughly sand all the paint off the steel bench. As for the paint, I propose using the White Knight Rust Guard System, it's a complete painting system designed for use on steel. Its step-by-step process makes it easy to use and removes guesswork when painting steel.

 

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to paint metal.

 

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a paint mask when working on your project.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
