Hello. I want to paint my Rattan headboard from white to Cherry finish.?

Something you might experiment with........perhaps on a small section on the back of the rattan head board......paint the rattan a cream color (with a yellowish tinge to it) with a matt or dull alkyd base paint. Let it dry several days. Find a THICK or GELLED cherry stain (sorry....can't offer a brand name) Apply small amount of stain at a time with a brush over the newly painted rattan......adding more stain to darken. or spreading the application out more to lighten....until you match the finish to your other piece. I have had success with this method in faux finishing plastic to represent wood.

Just a suggestion.........good luck

I walk left, it's been a long trek through the cavern and I am looking to rest. The day could not have ended on a more calm and serene spot here by the lake. I make a campfire and look forward to settling in by it and watching the sun's reflection on the water as it sets over the distant hills. And suddenly I hear music, sweet melodious notes being created by a flute. I look around for a bit and see the silhouette of a person sitting near the edge of high rock ridge. In what can only be described as heavenly, I listen to this person's musical homage to the setting sun for a glorious day it has given the world. All is right with the world at this very moment.

Rattan is rattan. It's not wood. Paint it red, or a complimentary color. Or, you can use a gel stain, but it's goint to look like paint.
