So pleased with the boho vibe and nice fresh clean result!
Our outdoor wicker lounge was in good condition, but I was tired of the dark brown and thought I'd try to paint it. After much thought I decided to give it a go. After using tile paint for our bathroom and kitchen DIY makeovers, I had the crazy idea to use it on the plastic wicker. The whole problem with painting plastic is that it is hard to adhere because it is smooth, but so were my ultra glossy tiles and I figured the paint stuck to that:)
The first step was to clean the pieces, there were four in total and give them a rough sand.
After receiving advice from a Bunnings staff member I used the White Knight Grip lock primer so as the paint had something to adhere to and perfect for plastic and shiny slippery surfaces. I then applied two coats of the White Knight tile paint in plain white.
I covered the cushions with painters drop sheets, Monarch 3 pack which was such amazing thick canvas and also gave a boho kind of vibe. I stenciled some patterns on as well using fabric paint.
I am just soooo pleased with the result and has given the outdoor patio such a clean fresh appearance and feel.
I made a video on the whole process so I will put a link here if anyone is interested in doing the same thing:)

Our old brown plastic wicker outdoor lounge was in good condition but was old and tired.
Before the transformation.
After the second coat of tile paint and finally finished.
After the transformation but before replacing the newly covered cushions.
It came up so much better than I thought and is so hard wearing.
I made cushion covers from Bunnings drop sheet canvas fabric and added stencil patterns with fabric paint.
The first coat was the White Knight Grip Lock Primer.
Then two coats of White Knight tile paint.
