I have a steel mesh patio table and chair set. It is getting kind of ratty looking with surface rust here and there. My wife is sentimental about it since it was gift from her parents. It is painted white and she wants to keep it that color.

I have a rudimentary sandblasting setup. I can blast it to roughen up the paint and knock off some of the rust. Any suggestions for which paint to use or other preparation tips. I'm willing to put in the time to get a nice finish, but I don't want to do it again real soon.
