Folding Side table- refinishing

When my grandparents were moving out of their house we spent a couple weekends helping clean out the basement and take various things to charity. I found this rolling folding table that I thought needed a good home. It has spent a couple years in storage and another couple on the deck.


 I finally decided it was time to refinish it. I looked up pictures of what it should look like new, I considered bring it back to its original condition.

I quite liked this star pattern. The table I have is just solid black, but this could be a fun 2nd life for it.  I came across someone else with the same table who had just cleaned it up and given it a clear top coat. I decided to start with that and see how I like the look.

So I started with a wire brush to remove the rust, cleaned it off well and then sprayed it with a clear top coat.

It still has a couple rough spots but it looks a lot better, I think I will keep it this way for now. And I managed to save the original label that is stuck on the underside of one of the shelves.
