I have painted a lot of furniture (both interior and exterior) and like both Zinnser and Kilz but have never painted teak. I'm guessing if it is that dried out/weathered that there wouldn't be a lot of oil left in the wood but I'm not sure. Thanks for your visit and your kind comment on my painted pedestal end tables. I hope you can stop by tomorrow for my simple and casual living room tour.Rustic Maple Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16216744907648848408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172272575823337864.post-31879098764762277172015-08-17T16:39:27.145-07:002015-08-17T16:39:27.145-07:00Thanks for stopping by today, Kim!

I've been so sad this week as my two kids left home to go back to college, so I think a girlfriend and I are going to slip away next week to the beach house. Hubby can't get away, so the girls will play! :)Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716758796036142540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172272575823337864.post-6513098428094307032015-08-14T05:39:56.182-07:002015-08-14T05:39:56.182-07:00I have some teak arms on our rattan furniture, and...I have some teak arms on our rattan furniture, and we oil it fairly regularly.

There is a marina right down the beach road, and I'm sure they would be a great resource for teak restoration.

Your local marina or boatbuilders are the best sources. They may be able to dip your furniture. To paint, an auto body shop is an option. Good luck! loveswaterflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17251314108944447288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172272575823337864.post-30725928425739527332015-08-13T11:52:28.502-07:002015-08-13T11:52:28.502-07:00Hi, Mandy!

I might try just cleaning & oiling one small piece to see how it goes and let nature take its course.
