Does anyone know what type of paint to use on outdoor wicker furniture??

I have some wicker furniture that has faded from the sun and age. I want to paint it but wondered if there is certain paint to use and what I do to prepare the wicker to make the paint last??Does anyone know what type of paint to use on outdoor wicker furniture??
DO NOT USE OIL-BASED paint outside. Use a latex acrylic. This is 2008 people.





Look for the ';outdoor furniture paint'; available, it's actually a plastic coating that will ';flex'; and stand up to the elements.





If you don't use a quality products outdoors your wasting your time.





Another alternative SW Duration....$40 a gallon~





And remember, keeping the surface clean will prolong all outdoor finishes....Does anyone know what type of paint to use on outdoor wicker furniture??
i would go to somewhere like home depot or lows and look for paint that is either or both wood paint and/or water proof.





if it is wood paint, it will stick into the wood and keep it from deteriorating, and if it is water proof, then it will keep the rain from damaging the funiture and the paint.
Any oil-based paint will last for years but it can't be applied over a previous coat of emulsion.





I would haul a chair down for the paint guy in a paint store to take a look. It's worth making sure as if you use the wrong type it will just peel off.
Outdoor paint for wood, bare spots need primed, then paint whole thing, two coats, leaving 24hrs tween coats.
Best option is probably shed paint.
I used acrylic and it looks great...i have done this several times over the years and it turns out wonderful
