How do I paint wicker furniture? I have a huge set that my boyfriend bought me for Mother's Day. I love it! It is vintage wicker. I'm not even sure if I should paint it. Thanks!

Always use spray paint -- much easier than brushes!

You will have to spray it, no way to brush it on and make it look good. Clean and scrape anything loose off first and then spray away! Good luck!

If it's vintage and in really good shape I think I'd be tempted just to clean it well and then clearcoat it. I'm into the shabby chic style, tho, and something that looks shiny and new just doesn't really appeal to me. If you do decide to paint it, go with several thin sprayed on coats.

I have sprayed 3 different sets of wicker I have found curbside I use a wire brush to scrape the chippy paint if need be and then I spray paint white. I always use rustoleum or krylon spray. It always works well!

I have some dark green, weather-resistant "wicker" chairs that I would like to spray paint another color. Because of their protective coating I am wondering whether or not they can be painted, and with what type of paint? Thank you in advance for your input!

RE: Painting Wicker Furniture

I have just used the new spray paint for plastic (I tried Rustoleum brand) and I am very pleased with the results. http://www.rustoleum.com/product.asp?frm_product_id=391&SBL=1 also available in hammered metallics & textured finishes...very cool, and it's durable enough for outdoor use.

RE: Painting Wicker Furniture

I'd recommend KRYLON FUSION spray paint for plastic. It can be used on "plastics, PVC, hard vinyl, ceramic, glass, tile, wood, metal, and wicker", according to what it says on the can. I've used it on wood, plastic and ceramic tile, and I am pleased with the results. (04/25/2007)

I recommend Krylon Fusion as well. Last Summer my husband spray painted our resin patio set and a smaller table from white to a pretty sand color. It cost us $25 in paint to have what looks like new patio furniture! (04/25/2007)

You could also try "adhesion promoter" in the automotive spray paint section at WalMart. (04/26/2007)
