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

many thanks

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

Hi Sue, Hope its not to late but my mother had a wicker blanket chest years ago and gave it too me and then I passed it onto my daughter she has painted it in emulsion paint and redone the lid as she was able to buy material the same pattern as the wallpaper. Try the bottom first
