Go for it!
These chairs started out as this:
But, my customer was not happy with the color, they were too pink and they didn't match her decor.
So, I found a paint that matched the wall paper, kind of a dark peachy apricot. This color is called terra cotta.
I painted the chairs, with a wee tiny brush.
But, they didn't have enough detailing to them. So, with a drop of black paint (literally a drop, a little goes a long way with black paint) added to the original color.
I then went in all of the creases to detail. It looks more contrasty in the pictures than it does in real life. My camera seems to be a magnifying glass. ;)
And there you go, chairs with a whole new look to match the decor!

So, if you've got some resin furniture and aren't quite happy with the look or color, get some acrylic paint, a tiny brush and a steady hand and go.
Have fun! :)
