How to Refinish Vintage Rattan Furniture

Painting and Protecting
While older rattan isn’t exactly considered a collectable if it’s in poor condition, you can often find rarities at yard sales for extremely low prices. If you manage to stumble across one of these gems, give it a makeover with some fresh paint. Just remember to wash the item down thoroughly prior to the application with some cheap beds vinegar and water. Also, fill any cracks or holes with wood filler and utilize some basic wood glue to secure any loose sections. After a few coats of oil based primer and a solid spray painting with the final colour, you will have a timeless piece.
