Mike,

I would experiment with a wood tone base coat then brush on a wood grain pattern, like furniture refinishers do sometimes. The question is which would work better, a light base coat and dark highlights, or dark base coat and light highlights? Dry-brush or wet-brush technique?

The biggest problem I imagine would be getting a paint to actually adhere to the plastic chair and not eventually flake off.

I'm thinking if anyone can come up with a solution, it's you. You're so crafty. :D
