I found this wicker couch at a local Restore for $40! But knew that it needed a little paint and it would be perfect for our back porch!

Clean Wicker Couch

I cleaned the wicker couch with a mixture of Liquid TSP and water. Using a scrub brush, I scrubbed all of the dust and dirt off on both sides of the couch. Finished with a good rinse with water. And allowed to dry.

Prime Wicker Couch

I primed the couch with one coat of Kilz-2 Primer using a chip brush.

Painting Wicker Couch

I got a quart of Exterior Paint from our local hardware store - and painted two coats on the couch. Overall I am very happy with how it turned out.

Cleaning Cushions

I cleaned the cushions using dish soap, a scrub brush and rinsed with the outdoor hose. I then allowed the cushions to dry in the sun, and replaced them on the couch.

Enjoy your newly painted couch!

Maybe it is just the pixilation when I blow up the picture but it looks really blotchy to me. Is there some pattern in the wicker that might male it look like that?

Hi Rachel, Beautiful couch and the paint job helped a lot. Where the blotchiness is concerned use a sponge roller brush and give it a few coats more. If you did not use a Kilz or Zinser base coat that may be why the blotchiness. Good luck :)
