DETROIT TIGERS VINTAGE METAL ROCKER

June 9, 2017 by madincrafts 2 Comments

This post is part of my work as brand ambassador for Plutonium Paint.  I was compensated for my work, but the opinions are 100% my own.

Unless you are new here, you know that we are big Detroit Tigers fans in our family.  And, we aren’t just bandwagon fans either, I use to fall asleep listening to Alan Trammell hitting home runs over the radio back when I was the age my kids are now.  So turning a vintage metal rocker into a Detroit Tigers rocker is almost common place in my household.

DETROIT TIGERS VINTAGE METAL ROCKER

My mom found this old metal rocker for cheap, and she asked if I would be willing to repaint it as a Detroit Tigers chair.  Who could turn down a request like that?  I started by giving the whole chair a scrub with steel wool to remove any loose paint and excess rust.  Then I wiped it down with paper towel to get rid of the rust dust.

I used my Cricut to cut an Old English D out of vinyl.  Vinyl works well as a painting stencil since it removes so cleanly.  Watch the process of painting the stencil in this quick video.  I have tons of creative videos on my YouTube channel so hop over and check them all out.

 
It seemed fitting to use a Detroit-based spray paint for this Detroit Tigers chair makeover.  Plutonium carries over 40 different colors, so you can adapt this tutorial to fit your favorite sports team.  But, if you paint yourself a Yankees chair, I don’t want to hear about it.
