Can youreccomend a specific sealer i dont know much about paint, i usually use rustoleum which works well on fw but not sw. I grew up in hicksville,myparents just got power a fewhours ago
I would go with Krylon. Sand the stand down as best you can, clean it with a degreaser with latex gloves on and spray the primer/sealer on. Let it dry overnight and then paint it the color you choose with 3-5 light coats.
