A great way to make your backyard sparkle is to paint that wooden picnic table. Pick a bright or traditional color. An enamel, oil-based paint is best. Prep the wood by cleaning away any dirt and grime with a good scrubbing of soap and water. Use a medium grit sandpaper, and sand the entire surface. This will help the paint adhere better to the wood. Clean the wood with acetone on a clean cloth to pick up all the sanding particles. Next, brush on a good outdoor primer paint. Now, apply the paint, fire up the barbecue grill and enjoy your new wooden picnic table.
