What happens here

Using a hand sander or detail sander, thoroughly sand the entire metal chair frame. This step removes any loose paint, rust, or surface imperfections, creating a slightly abraded surface that allows the new paint to adhere properly. Ensure all areas are clean and smooth. Wipe down the frame with a clean cloth, possibly dampened with a degreaser or mineral spirits, to remove any dust, grease, or sanding residue before painting.

Goal: Sand the metal chair frame to remove minor imperfections, old paint residue, and create an optimal surface for new paint adhesion.
