You could hit it with a can of "hammerite" spray paint.It comes in a few colors & is made for metal applications.If You get the textured finish,it can help to cover any blemishes also.Good luck with the project

No sure in Canada, but here at places like Menards, Home Depot you can buy the webbing and redo it. It is not hard. What kind of craft stores do you have? It has been awhile since I have been to Canada. You might go on line also and type in your request. If your aluminum frames are still in real good shape, it would pay to fix them but now the sales are starting with the summer products so you might just replace them cheaper.

Thank You All. Before I read your responses, I had mocked up a 36" chair to check it out. It didn't grab me. Then I looked at a BUNCH of pins on my Pinterest account...funny, the shorter 36" chairs DID look odd. So, I txt'd her this am, told her I couldn't make it, but told her if she doesn't sell them to let me know. They would make great extra chairs for when the table is extended. Most of those type of chairs I have found are 36" in height. Although occasionally I do find a 40" set. I think I will hold out for either a larger set (dimensions and quantity) or maybe go with a totally different style of chair. Thanks again, you all confirmed what was already in my head. Bee

Thank you all for your suggestions! I am looking through them and continuing to hunt for the perfect solution. To clarify - comfort is not a priority, lol. While I don't want anyone to be sitting on a bed of nails, I also feel like most seats are fine for temporary use. For those who require a more comfortable seat, there is always the real patio furniture. But these are more for people to sit down for an occasional gathering. I have sat in many a bistro chair while dining outside at restaurants, so I know it is fine for short term seating. Meanwhile, aesthetics really are a priority. I have had the ugly plastic chairs. I would really like, while also getting something easier to clean, to purchase something more attractive this go round. I do plan on keeping them long term, and I think most outdoor finishes, outside of plastic, should be able to stand up to a what amounts to a few weeks outside a year. Especially because the majority of the time they will be stored in a conditioned shed. I will definitely not use cushions or padding or anything similar. My environment is very humid, and outdoor fabrics get disgusting. Keep the suggestions rolling in - y'all definitely have me looking at things I didn't even know were out there.
