We want to help you DIY,
so some of the materials in this post are linked to sellers. Just so you know, Hometalk may collect a small share of sales from the links on this page. You will need a HDX wire brush (Amazon), HDX scrub brush (this scrub brush really came in handy when cleaning the awning.) (Amazon), Dawn soap (Amazon) and Rustoleum Hammered Paint & Primer in One (Color: Black) (I used about 5 of these, so I was glad I got them at such a good price.)
