Vista, soak the area that is clogged with paint by using paint remover or soap and water. When you have removed all the paint you can, let the area dry. Then use a dry brush or very fine spray paint, on the front and back, applying the paint one thin layer at a time. This is for plastic webbing. Real cane requires special paint and even gentler processing. I hope this works for you.
The best and easiest way, is to use RIT Synthetic Dye. I preferred this way as it did not cover up the mesh holes as spray paint or chalk paint would.
Clean Chairs
I used 7oz bottle of liquid dye for 6 chairs.
My chairs were beige/brown and I wanted light green as I was painting the arms and legs white with spray paint.
After spray paint arms and legs you can dye the paint on the chair.
I used the 7oz liquid synthetic dye. Poured the dye in a small pan that I got from the dollar store. It came with a small sponge roller.
I used approx 2 tablespoons of vinegar with the dye.
I rolled over the the mesh with the small paint roller, making sure it was wet but not dripping. I did the front, back, seat and underneath.
Once dried. I got a second small roller and pour in the RIT colorstay to lock in the color.
I did not do one chair with the Liquid RIT Colorstay and the color bled and dripped. The frost from the night before left waterspots on the chair.
But for this all I had to do was apply the color stay and it actually removed the spots.
I have since left the chairs out in the rain, no spots and no dye running.
of course bring a thread to paint store
You can spray paint them.
