Can Wicker be Painted? And Can you help me find something like this picture?

have the perfect wicker bathroom accessory that will hold all of my daily needs. It is 13 years old and from my sister's 1st apartment. I can't find anything like it anywhere...

it's made of wicker and kind of dingy--can I spray it with a coat of paint??

Here's a pic if your're interested and perhaps can help me find some other similar items.

My mom painted a wicker set years ago.

I know she really scrubbed it down, got any dirt off of the pieces and let it dry throughly, then she used spray paint to paint the set.

It stayed nice for a while but after a few years the painted flaked off is spots. she didnt repaint it but Im sure she could have

totally, 100% yes. if it looks like it has some mildew on it, i'd first try to clean it off with some bleach or tilex, or something. let it dry. then use high gloss spray paint to coat it. i'd give it two or so coats of paint. if you can find one for outdoor use, even better b/c it will withstand moisture even better.
