A fun way to recycle old folding chairs

I was the host of a fun bridal shower the other week and I needed more chairs to seat the guests that were coming. So in my hunt to create some fun chairs, I found two simple metal folding chairs that had been pretty beat up.  After I washed all the dirt and grime off of them, I went straight to painting. However,  I wish I hadn't and wish I would have done a light coat of spray primer...
The paint still stuck but it probaly would have gone on more even and I wouldn't of needed a whole bottle of spray can per chair!...Nonetheless...it was a fun way to bring a pop of color to the party! They will also be fun to use all summer.
