We bought some of those vintage metal lawn chairs and a glider at a yard sale. I did go to a powder coat operation - he baked the paint off and then sandblasted and powdercoated for about $80 each - glider was $160. I found a platics place on line that had parts to replace the original rubber pieces and I used Stainless Steel bolts with stainless cap nuts. Turned into quite a project but I scored beaucoup points and they really look good.
