Ok K, so I scored some cool chairs yesterday but they are kind of a mess. They are a thick wicker with wood, I'll send pics but what I want to know is can you spray paint wicker and if you sit in it, will it rub off on your clothes? Or is it best to stain the wicker?
First, spray paint will not rub off, I don't care what you put it on, it's staying, unless your bottom is like sandpaper(ok another topic). Second, Stain? Oh hell's no!...I mean, I wouldn't. You would have to sand it down to bare material before a stain would take to it properly and I am about conservation...TIME CONSERVATION darling.
that being said...There is a spray paint by Krylon called Fusion. It is a no prep, superbond paint, that adheres to metal, plastic, wood, and wicker. I get mine from Wal Mart for about $3.48 a can. They have some really nice colors too. Good thing is. you are not committed to just "Fusion" colors. If you don't want one of those colors, prime it with fusion paint, in a white or similar color to what you want, then paint over it with any other color.
Suggestions: Rustoleum colors really last, are rust proof, and have excellent coverage. Another option is choosing another Krylon color, as they have delicious offerrings in their color line right now. Krylon also has angle spray painting tips now...YUP. Horizontal and vertical painting people!
Paint on a few coats of that(be sure to allow dry time in between coats), then seal it with a clear coat, so it lasts. remember to buff off any loose paint or imperfections before you start painting. Hope I didn't answer ya too late!
