How to paint a wicker sofa. Its not wood material , but a plastic. I used a krylon paint and it rubbed off?

Krylon actually makes a spray paint specifically for plastics.How to paint a wicker sofa. Its not wood material , but a plastic. I used a krylon paint and it rubbed off?
There are two different kinds of Krylon paint, one of which is designed to cover children's plastic desks and toyboxes and plastic lawn furniture. I am assuming that if you follow recommended directions for application, there is a guarantee involved. You might possibly call the manufacturer or go on line to their help center and ask for any additional preparation advice. Even though it is plastic, it's possible that it's necessary to paint with a primer coat first so it will adhere better. Plastic, if not worn, is a very smooth surface to try to paint. You may find that a laquer would better suit your needs.How to paint a wicker sofa. Its not wood material , but a plastic. I used a krylon paint and it rubbed off?
I would try using a model paint you can get at model stores and even Michael's etc. It adheres very well, won't chip off... it also leaves a high sheen although i think you can get it with a matte finish. Otherwise, I'd try engine paint. They come in many different colors!
