I have some wooden garden chairs and benches that need some color. Should I paint or stain? Also, I'd like to?

some real color but don't want the furniture to look tacky. I like things to look natural since I live on a river and the landscape is all indigenous to the area. One bench over-looks the river, two others are in a patio area. I also have a picnic table that could use to be re-painted, it's currently a dense red. If I paint, do I need to prime first? Any color suggestions?I have some wooden garden chairs and benches that need some color. Should I paint or stain? Also, I'd like to?
There is a perfect paint for your project and it Olympic paint stain. It comes in a ton of colors, shades and stain pigments. You don't need to prime, but should sand any areas that are gray, peeling or loose. I love this stuff and have found it long lasting, durable, weather resistant and fade resistant. It is great out in the sun and everything I've used it on gets hit by the automatic sprinklers almost daily and it doesn't get discolored like other paints or stains I have used. I got it at Lowes.I have some wooden garden chairs and benches that need some color. Should I paint or stain? Also, I'd like to?
Stain all your furniture with a deep rich brown stain. Then paint your picnic table bright red. Then buy or make cushions and pillows in a bright red, or red and white, or even gingham/plaid.





If your using stain you do not have to prime first. Primer is only if you are going to use paint.
With the preferences you have described I would consider a honey walnut, cedar, or cherry stain.
