Refinishing outdoor aluminum furniture
I have a set of aluminum outdoor furniture (Brown-Jordan) that I would like to refinish. Can someone recommend the steps we should follow?

Hi, Brian. Although it's obvious to you what you are dealing with and what you want, it's not obvious to we readers. Is this painted aluminum that you wish to repaint, or bare aluminum that you wish to re-polish, or bare aluminum you wish to paint? Are all non-aluminum parts removed? Thanks.

Glass bead blast to remove all old paint and corrosion, then prime and paint with automotive-quality materials. Any store which sells auto paint can supply you with the correct primer and topcoat.
