I sprayed white porch wicker black about 10 years ago and am very happy with it. I need to refresh it again…. Betty that makes me so excited to hear that, thank you so much for sharing! I think it looks pretty classy though. Big hugs, CoCo. CoCo — We are so glad you took the painting-plunge!
The wicker furniture looks perfect in black. It really enhances all of the arches of the chair backs and it will definitely compliment the front porch. Your painting tips are so helpful too…wicker can be so difficult to paint!
Fabulous new look — love it! Thanks so much ladies! It feels like the porch has a fresh new look now. Hugs, CoCo. Hi, looks great. Works great. Oh my gosh, Dorothy, I forgot all about that device! You are so right it definitely helps to cut down on hand cramping especially when you have big projects.
Thanks so much for the sweet reminder. I appreciate it. Hope your day has been a fun one, Coco. Your idea to start by turning the furniture upside down was so smart… I really need to give this method a try. This is such a fun way to dress up the look of tired looking wicker furniture!
Thank you, Heidi! Wicker is so tricky sometimes because it can look differently from multiple angles. I did not know you could spray paint wicker furniture! Thanks so much for sharing this!
You are so welcome, Caleb! Wicker is definitely more delicate than plastic or wood would be but these held up for multiple seasons under a partially covered front porch. Happy DIYing! I love your wicker furniture painted black. I can imagine dealing with the pollen may be tricky.
Wicker must take a bit of time. Your porch is always one of my favorites. Thanks so much, Cindy! I loved the black too and honestly, it looked really good with the shutters and the color of the house. The whole thing just made for a very elegant entry. I have painted a lot of wicker in my days and so today, I wanted to share with you some of the tips and tricks that I have learned over the years. As far as spray paint goes, there really are ones that are better than others.
The white finish on this wicker rocking chair was looking really worn and dated and so I felt like it could really use a fresh modern makeover. Before you get started painting, you want to first give the wicker a quick cleaning. I have found that a kitchen scrub brush works perfectly for getting into all of the nicks and crannies of the wicker. Be sure to spray from different angles to ensure all exposed surfaces of the wicker are painted. Allow the painted wicker to dry for at least one hour.
If the color is uneven or not bright enough, apply a second coat of paint. Once you've achieved the desired color, wait one to two days check the paint can for exact recommendations to allow the paint to fully cure before using the furniture.
