For the chair that’s painted green, I’m going to use a sanding tool with a coarse grit on the sanding surface (I’m using an 80 grade grit) to make a nice, easy job of removing the paint.
For the second chair, I’m going to sand it back by hand using something a bit lighter – just a piece of 120 grade grit paper over a sanding block.
The power sander is great for getting lots of paint off quickly, but you'll need to switch to hand sanding to get into the smaller nooks of the chair.
Once you've removed as much of the paint/varnish as possible, get a piece of light sandpaper (around a 180 grade grit) and wrap it around your sanding block. Give the chairs a thorough once-over to make sure that they are nice and smooth. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
