Wooden rocking chair painting
I am attempting to repaint some rocking chairs that were on my porch and am not getting very good results. Here's what I've done:
Washed them with Jomax cleaner, rinsed with power washer. This left a mix of some bare spots but mostly spots with some paint remaining.
First tried several light coats of spray paint and primer in one. That looked OK in parts but a lot of parts didn't cover well. I then went back and tried some primer and that helped but still didn't cover uniformly.
Any suggestions on what to do next?

I'd brush the chairs, that will apply a thicker coat of paint, work the paint into the wood better and give longer lasting protection. It's too difficult to apply enough paint with a rattle can to get good coverage or lasting protection.

OK, thanks. I'm thinking because of some of the uneven coverage, I should maybe do another light sanding now. What do you think? How about deglosser and/or a brushed on primer before painting?
