Painting wicker furniture is one of those jobs that you look at it and think how can I get a good finish on such a tricky-looking surface?
The great thing about our metal outdoor furniture is that it has a durable powder-coated finish that is designed to last. You might need to touch up a scratch or chip but it is designed to last and not require re-applying.
Wicker on the other hand is a little more of a tricky one, so the Lazy Susan team have had a little search on the old interwebs and compiled some of our favourite how-to videos.
