    • 1). Place your table on top of the drop cloths or plastic sheeting to protect your work area.

    • 2). Remove any non-iron pieces from your table (glass, etc.). If the pieces cannot be removed easily, apply painter's tape to all of the edges that contact the iron.

    • 3). Sand off any loose rust and paint flakes from your table.

    • 4). Clean away any large particles by hand and with a soft-bristle brush, but do not remove the dust particles you created by sanding.

    • 5). Apply a thin layer of conversion coating to the entire table surface with a clean, soft-bristle paint brush and let dry. Do not remove the particles that form on the table's surface, as they will help your paint bind to the iron.

    • 6). Apply a thick layer of paint to the entire table surface with a clean, hard-bristle paint brush and let dry. Work the paint into the surface to create a strong bond between the paint and iron.

    • 7). Apply additional coats of paint until you achieve the coverage you want.
