Some Recommendations On Painting Wicker Furniture

If you want to paint your wicker moon chair, then I would recommend to first test and experiment with another chair that you do not have "strong feelings" toward it. This will help testing and adjusting your style as you progress and learn how to properly paint a wicker furniture.

To paint a wicker moon chair there are some recommendations that you should follow along to ensure that you will get the most benefits out of it without damaging your moon chair.

I would like to recommend you to buy a good and protective mask and safety glasses. The protective mask should have a good ventilating method to ensure that you will be able to breathe properly when painting wicker furniture. Additionally, when painting your wicker moon chair with a spray, I would recommend protecting the surrounding objects and also try to spray on an indoor room if you have one available for that kind of work. If painting your moon chair outdoor, then make sure you do it so on a windless day.

Different Methods On Painting Wicker Moon Chairs

There are three common ways for painting wicker furniture: spray can, making use of a bristle brush and a compressor sprayer. I highly recommend trying to get a good compressor sprayer with oil-base house paint. This is by far the best method to paint wicker chairs and overall furniture and you will be able to make the most of it. Unfortunately this option is not always available and you may have to use something else to paint your wicker moon chair. As a second option, I would recommend using a bristle brush if you only have a few pieces of wicker furniture to paint. As a third option, you can use a spray can method, but I would leave this at a last resort option and try to use of one the other methods described above.

If you would like to properly paint your wicker moon chair, then it is recommended that you buy the best quality products available in the market. There are many products these days, but the old rule of "you get what you paid for" still applies. So, ensure that you get the best quality products and ask for help if in doubt.

Furthermore, I would apply a wood primer in your wicker chair before painting anything. This will help you avoiding damage to your wicker chair and furniture. Also, you must check with your manufacturer or seller whether the new paint that you are just buying for your wicker patio furniture is compatible with your old painting or not. This will also help preventing many problems in the long run.

Painting Wicker Furniture - Final Recommendations

As final recommendations, I would like to point out that you should start painting your wicker moon chair by first setting it upside down so you are able to paint all visible areas there first. After you finish that, than put your wicker patio furniture right up in its original position and paint all the visible areas once again.

This will help making the most of your painting in your wicker chairs. Furthermore, apply at least two coats of paint and do not, by any chance, let globs on the paint to show up with thick coats. Use thin paint coats to ensure that the way you are painting wicker furniture, guarantees that you will have a good result in the end.
