Thank you for the tips !!! I've always sprayed the underneath/back first (after striping). That way, when it's dry, I can flip it over and paint the top without possibly scuffing the front/top edge on the chair and front edges of the arm rests as is possible if I were to paint the front/top first !!!

Very helpful video! I would also suggest a spray paint gun. You just hook it on the nozzle and it cuts the application process in half.

Loved the video. I have a couple of chairs with tons of peeling paint. I had no idea where to start. I found your video really helpful. I thought there was going to be a list of needed supplies at the end?
@kirbyroad57432 жыл бұрын
Just finished my outdoor set 2 large chairs and a matching table. I had no peeling paint as I usually wash and paint every couple of years with rattle cans. This year I decided to use an industrial enamel and couldn't find my cheap Harbor Freight air gun sprayer. I ended up brushing it on with a 3" Purdy brush. "NEVER AGAIN". It took 6 hours for the first coat and 2 hours on the second coat and 2 quarts of enamel. But it'll outlast the spray paint I normally use and hopefully when it needs it again I'll either be too old to care or dead.

I'm so happy I found your page! I've been dying to paint three of my wicker chairs but I didn't know what to do at all and I was getting ready to take a paint brush to it! You explained it very good, I watched a few that led me you and I was getting a little aggravated because the music was too loud and they talked too fast. I just subscribed and can't wait to check out your other videos! Thank you!! P.S. if it's a very small wicker basket is ok to use chalk paint with a brush? Or should I stick with spray paint. 😺
@LovelyEtc3 жыл бұрын
I'm so glad I could help! And you can definitely brush chalk paint onto a wicker basket - I've done that before and it works well. The main reason I wouldn't recommend it for furniture is it would take an incredibly long time.

How long does the paint last on your wicker chairs before chipping? Also would this process work as well with resin wicker chairs?
@LovelyEtc4 жыл бұрын
The paint on my chairs lasted 7 or 8 years before I started seeing small chips. My wicker chairs are usually on a screened porch so they aren't in direct sun and rain - they might share wear sooner if they are more exposed. And yes, it would work great on resin wicker!

No Primer 😢
@LovelyEtc4 күн бұрын
I chose to use spray paint which is an oil-based paint. It adheres really well to most surfaces including wicker. This means you can skip using a separate primer But, you can certainly use primer if you like.
