I absolutely love your set! So darling! I have painted several wicker items over the years. I used to use regular spray can (the cheap 99c cans) but it took alot.

Last week I sprayed several wicker pieces with Rustoleum Painters Touch 2x spray and it was awesome! It sprayed a settee and chair with one can and changed it from white to black. I can not tell you how easy that stuff makes it to spray the furniture. Enjoy your new set!

What a deal on an awesome looking set. Your hubby will be eating his words once you have them painted yummy black!
Though in looking at your floor I'm wondering if a very very dark dark chocolate, as in Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate, brown would look pretty darn awesome too.

Well this may not be the best virtual, but I thought I'd see what to show the difference between black and a very dark brown. I like them both, but thought since I mentioned chocolate chip brown I'd show you what I meant...

I am going to be painting some wicker furniture and wondered how your project turned out. Also, I love your flooring and would like to know what brand tile/color you used.

I have used the cheap cans of spray paint and also have used Rustoleum, and I am sad to say that with it being on an outside porch, neither lasts very long before it starts flaking. I am open to other peoples suggestions.

Good find! I used Krylon spray painter and primer in one. It did take about 3 coats (white over white) but it looks great!

Does it need pressure washing first ?

I don't think you should ever pressure wash wicker. It would probably cause some damage.

I have 2 white chairs that are woven to look like wicker, but it appears to be made with a shiny vinyl or plastic. Any suggestions on what kind of paint to use?? I want to paint them black to match other wicker pieces I have. Do I use flat or shiny?Thanks for any help.
