Swing Makeover: Paint Sprayer Tips

Oh friend. This swing. This swing was a wedding gift, lovingly made by a dear family friend. Since we have been married 19 years this year, the swing is definitely in need of a face lift. I’m going to share a few paint sprayer tips in this video and show you how easy it was to makeover our beloved swing with my trusty Wagner paint sprayer. I’d like to thank Wagner for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own! Watch this family heirloom porch swing get a makeover using a paint sprayer.

An extra sweet note to this swing…it’s patterned after swings my granddaddy used to make when he was still alive. Granddaddy loved woodworking and made swings for everyone. I never got one of his, but our friend did and built swings inspired by the pattern, so our swing is like a next generation granddaddy model.

When I took a look at it though, it seemed a tad tired and in need of rejuvenation. Luckily that isn’t more than a little paint can fix (wish it were that easy for tired mamas ???? ).

My friend Amy also updated her DIY outdoor kitchen sink, it is a great project you need to check out for more outdoor patio ideas and paint tips. Well, the paint job turned out fantastic, silky smooth, even coverage in a stunning black. Now I need to decide if I find a place to hang the swing OR add legs to it and make it a bench for now.????

    No to bench. A swing is always a swing. Build a frame for it and put anywhere.

    A bench is nice but I would leave it as a swing.
    I agree with Susan; Build a swing frame and mount your swing. https://cmd-ks.biz/outdoor-swing-with-stand-2/

    I agree there is nothing more soul resting that swinging on a porch swing looking at all God has created! Especially in the Spring and Fall when our world changes seasons seasons!

    Looks fantastic in black! And I agree with the others to build a frame and continue to use it as a swing. My husband has always used outdoor wood protector on our swing maybe she needs a good coat of paint to dress her up!

    Love the new look! Do you just do 1 coat with the sprayer or do you do 2?

      It usually takes one coat with a few touch up spots, but it a little bit depends on the paint you use. Good quality paint is one coat. Also when I first started using the sprayer I wasn’t as great at it and would have to do two coats, but now I do one because I’ve gotten better at using the sprayer! Thanks so much
