Treasured Metal Glider – Restored

This is my Grandma & Grandpa Wolff's metal porch glider that I remember swinging in on their front porch say... 40 years ago. I was lucky enough to be the recipient of this treasure! I know every cousin of mine has the same memories and can remember to be careful not to "put your fingers where they could get pinched".... This is my latest rehab...
BEFORE
AFTER

I am so pleased with how this turned out. I had worked it out and painted it once before but I did not take the right steps, use the proper paint or have patience through any of it... This time I did it a little more like this. Sanding A LOT, priming, sanding and using the right tools and paint. And I will ABSOLUTELY bring it in during the winter , and hopefully it will be something my kids or even grands will enjoy, sand and paint to their liking many years from now.
