Krylon Dual Wicker Chair Revamp


  When my parents moved into their new house this summer, my mom gave me a wicker chair that used to sit on their large front porch.  It was still in pretty good shape, but the brown paint needed some help. When I found out that I would be able to test out Krylon new Dual spray paint, a combination primer and paint in one, I knew the chair was about to get her face lift!

What you need:

  • (3) cans Krylon Dual Cherry Red
  • Wicker chair
  • Wire brush
  • Soft cloth
  • Spray paint trigger

How and How Long:

  1. Make sure the piece is dry and clean of dust and dirt.
  2. Spray paint adheres to rough surfaces better than glossy surfaces. Rough it up if necessary.
  3. Spray the awkward parts of the piece (under the shelves of a bookcase, for example) first. The paint will spray upside-down easier if the can is full.
  4. Spray the first coat moving your hand in a horizontal motion. Spray the second coat moving your hand in a vertical motion. Changing directions will help cover the ins and outs of the wicker in fewer coats.
Approximate porject time: 2 hours (including dry time).

What it Costs:

I was able to try the paint as part of the Dual campaign, so the project was free!
