Sorry Boglelocks,
Once wicker/rattan is painted... it's painted. You could re-paint it something funky like a red laquer.. Give it the exotic look of the Orient.
Aloha,

...or you could paint it to look like natural wicker.

My son and I created a "bamboo water shoot" as a water feature for a tropical party we put on, and we used white pvc pipes painted to look like cut bamboo poles for the water to travel in. Really looked nice.

Making white wicker look like natural wicker ought to be do-able.
