Post by: Big Sue on April 28, 2006, 09:36:03 AM

can you help me , do you know what sort of paint I would need to paint an old wickerwork ottoman, my friend has just asked me and I thought that you might know.
she wants to paint it in antique ivory/cream and antique gold if possible.

any help would be appreciated

I think you could use one of those aerosol paints on it.  It would be flipping hard to paint it with a brush! lol
