So, I've started working on the chair and like a said in my last post I decided that I needed to paint the legs first so I wouldn't get paint on the new fabric.
I started with a primer paint and then sprayed it with the color which for me I'm going with a glossy black finish. This went pretty fast until I noticed that it had some dents and cracks in the wood. So I went and got some wood filler and filled in what I saw. It said to use a spatula knife but I just used my finger. Then I sanded it down with medium gain sandpaper. I went back and sprayed the legs with the primer again to see if I missed any or I got too much of the wood filler on the legs. I had to go back a few times to fix everything but I think I got all the holes. I'll check again friday when theres sun.
Anyways heres the best part... PICTURES!!!
