I have these wooden chairs. I don't want to paint them with a brush because the wood looks dry and I'll need primer I suppose. It is just two little chairs. Will spray paint work?

Yes you can. Do not use a latex spray as it will not adhere well to the factory finish. I would recommend a oil based spray paint to promote adhesion. The other thing that you should know is that you need to clean the chairs first. If there is any oil or dirt on the chairs the spray paint will have a hard time sticking. Use light coats. Two light coats are better than one heavy coat. If you would like to have them last for a long time, let them dry for about a week and then wax them with an automotive wax. This will seal the chairs and harden the paint. If anyone spills anything on them it will just run off instead of penetrating into the paint.

Yes. It will probably take about 2 cans per chair to get a good even coat, but it works very well. Just do a series of light coats so that you don't end up with drips. You won't need a primer. All spray paint is oil based, so it will stick to just about anything.
