Can synthetic rattan outdoor armchairs be painted to refresh their appearance?

Yes, synthetic rattan outdoor armchairs can be painted to give them a fresh new look. Over time, exposure to sunlight and weather can cause the color of synthetic rattan to fade or look worn. Painting is a cost-effective way to revitalize your outdoor furniture without replacing it.

Before painting, clean the rattan thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then let it dry completely. Lightly sand the surface to help the paint adhere better. Choose a high-quality outdoor paint or spray paint designed for plastic or wicker surfaces for durability. Apply thin, even coats, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next. Finish with a clear sealant to protect the paint from UV rays and moisture.

With proper preparation and the right materials, painting synthetic rattan armchairs can extend their lifespan and keep your outdoor space looking stylish.
