I have white painted rocking chairs on our porch that are covered with mildew. What is the best method for removal?

I have 4 of them. They are almost black in spots (may be mold). I've heard a pressure washer will take off the paint. I would rather not use bleach if possible.

The chairs we have are painted but need repainted. So after sanding what paint would be best? Latex enamel?

I am starting a tea party business and I want some folding metal chairs, but I want them pink. So, I need to spray paint them. Now, since these are new chairs do I still need to apply a primer or can I just spray them with a spray paint for metal like Rustoleum? Any tips? Thanks!

I have bought wrought iron (I think they are) kitchen chairs. Paint has been splattered on them. When I tried Vim or light rubbing with SOS pad, it removes the finish. How do I remove the paint safely with the least amount of damage?

Budget is pretty low right now and I'm trying to find creative ways to give a face lift to our apartment. I have a nice wooden table which I want to use in my dining room as I do not have a dining table. The table is a golden pecan color. I also have 4 metal chairs which were originally red and have been painted over in black sitting aside on by back balcony and not being used. I've bought lovely beige tie pillows for the chairs and am thinking of painting them in the same color as the table. The table will sit next to my open plan kitchen and the color of the wood matches my kitchen perfectly. I have stainless steel kappliancesliences. Should I paint my chairs in an aluminum color or try to match it to the tables wood color? Any other ideas?
