Classic Comfort: Tips for Choosing Wicker Furniture

If you have wicker furniture, chances are you want to paint it to make sure you can use it for a longer time. Here are some tips and tricks you can follow to paint your wicker furniture.

Step 1:

Remove the existing paint that is flaky. You can scrape off the paint with a wire brush or soft brass. If the flaking is really bad, you can use a prank tool. Make sure that you do not damage the straps of your wicker furniture during the process.

Step 2:

Apply at least two coats of primer and make sure the surface is oil. Use a compressor syringe or brush with natural bristles in the vacant areas. It is important to use a primer if you want to paint your wicker furniture. After drying the primer you can apply two coats of oil paint with a brush or sprayer.

Step 3:

To spread your wicker furniture, it is best to use an oil base for outdoor or indoor use. It adheres easily to the furniture and is also durable. Do not choose latex because it peels off pretty easily. Use high quality colors and you do not have to repaint your furniture over and over again. Good colors would not flake off and keep your furniture in good condition for years, provided you take proper care of it.
