How do I spray paint wicker furniture?

That is probably the easiest way to do it! Here is a link on a spray paint onto wicker patio furniture - https://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/furniture/how-to-paint-wicker-furniture-735532

Have you thought of using Krylon's Dual Spray Paint? Take the furniture outside, make sure you clean it, then apply .......................ideal for wicker. It is a primer and paint all in one.

You'll first need to thoroughly clean the wicker. Use a gentle soap and water on a sponge to get into all the nooks and crannies. The wicker must also be totally dry before painting so that the paint adheres properly and goes on evenly.

You can also clean your wicker furniture without water. To do this, get a brush with fairly firm bristles and remove the visible dirt and debris. You can then use a vacuum cleaner to remove the loosened dirt.

If you notice any small defects on your wicker furniture, this the time to do some light repair work. You can use hot glue on wicker, but make sure you use as little as possible as paint doesn't adhere well to it.

If your wicker is already painted or varnished, you may wish to sand down your piece as part of the prep. Traditional sandpaper doesn't really work on wicker because the surface is too uneven. You can, however, use a liquid sander for furniture. This is a type of chemical-based liquid that you can apply over the wicker to dull gloss and help with new paint adherence. It's a much better choice when prepping to paint wicker furniture as it can get into every crevice of the surface area and will evenly prep the whole item.

Spray paint is ideal if you want a more even coverage. When spray painting wicker furniture, you first need to find the best location for the job. You'll need a well-ventilated area with little to no wind or drafts. You'll also need to cover up the surrounding area to ensure it doesn't get painted, too. Make sure you're wearing protective clothing as well.

The best way to use spray paint for wicker is to apply a few thin coats. Trying to achieve full coverage in one coat will result in a messy, rushed look. Spray evenly over the furniture from about 12 inches away. Allow an hour of drying time in between coats. Expect to apply approximately four coats of spray paint to achieve the coverage you want. Once you're satisfied, wait at least a day before using the furniture.

Hi Diane, here are a few more Hometalk projects you may want to look at

Real wicker or plastic wicker? Not all plastic takes enamel paint the same way.

Some plastics melt with enamel paint on them.

I would try a sample area on the back side first.

Hi Diane. Begin by cleaning the wicker furniture. Allow it to dry completely. Then use a good enamel paint suitable for wicker furniture. Read the labels when choosing paint. It will tell you the surfaces that the paint is suitable for. Apply several light coats, and let it dry between the coats.

I have seen lots of spray painted wicker furniture and it's beautiful! If yours is in need of a makeover, I would totally paint it. If it's outside, make sure you use paint that is feasible for outdoor use.

Hello,

In an airy place where you will not breath in the fumes. Stand the furniture on newspaper and do the underside first. Good luck and enjoy the project!
