I wanted to do something different for my porch.. But I just didn't know what. My neighbor had thrown her wicker furniture to the garbage and I knew that I had to have it. That's when the idea came to me....and so it begins.
I basically confided in a friend what kind of paint to use. Semi gloss indoor/outdoor paint.
Painted the porch white first.
Let it dry over night
Paint White! I was impatient so I didn't paint a second coat.
I sectioned off with painters tape. I did not measure.
I then painted with semi gloss black indoor/outdoor paint.
It was not perfect.. But perfect for me.
Notice my inspirational wicker 😍.

    Indoor /outdoor high gloss yet it doesn't look shiny which is great, or did I miss something? Is it sold in many colors?

    So far so good, I like the worn look. So far not worn down.

    You can do this treatment with Concrete Stain which will not come off like the paint does. I did my front porch with white stain, taped it then stained entire porch with gray stain. When I removed the tape, it looked like the porch had been tiled in slate tiles.
