Rust-Oleum 150ml Flexible Fabric Spray Paint - Black

Product Information

I am actually quite happy with the texture of my painted pillow. It is definitely much softer than the couch cushions I painted with latex paint! In fact, I doubt anyone who touched it would ever guess it had been painted. I repeated the same steps as before: shake can for one minute, make sure surface is clean and dry, apply long even light coats to the surface and let dry. Below is the second cushion I sprayed. It looks much better because I didn’t spray near as much product on the surface. Next make long even light sprays across the surface of the fabric. Don’t let the paint puddle in one area. I made this mistake.

One downside is I did need to do three full coats of paint plus touch ups around the seams of the cushions to get good enough coverage to cover the bright pattern well. So while a project using this paint may take all afternoon to completely finish, the active painting time will only be a few minutes. Coats of Paint

And finally, the big question. How does the painted fabric feel – is it crunchy and stiff or soft and fabric-like? If you are painting something with a less high-contrast pattern, you could probably get away with two coats of paint. Amount of Paint These points are what differentiates it from regular spray paint. How to use Rustoleum Outdoor Fabric Paint I haven’t tested the other colors of this paint yet, but based on my experience with other paints, I would guess the lighter paint colors probably won’t cover bright colors and patterns quite as well. Time Always prepare the surface before you begin the paint job. I used a soap and water formula with a lint free cloth to wipe down the cushions.
