G B on Mar 01, 2013I bought Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric spray paint to use on my sofa. Only tested a small part of a chair; however, the fumes are overwhelming so the project has been moved to Spring or Summer when I can open windows, etc. Sold online but also available in auto supply stores. Uses for dashboards, door panels, seats and carpet.Helpful Reply

G B on Mar 04, 2013AK, I only did a small sample but it will work for me once I can get ventilation in the house. The living room set was white originally but has turned more ivory over the years. I noticed that I lost some of the definition of the brocade pattern but that's okay, too. I'm just trying retain a set that I love and can't get cleaned. If professionals won't touch it...I surely don't need to try doing it, either.Helpful Reply

Tracy Shudo on Oct 24, 2016Hi don't know if you all ready painted? I did a ton of reading about painting outdoor fabric. I am very "Cheap" frugal. I bought a mismatched gallon of $60.00 ben her paint for $9.00. Told the paint guy what I was going to do and he said it will never work. The fabric medium is quite costly so only added very very little, laid out 9 foot umbrella outside started to paint. it took 2 coats and 3 in some spots. No the paint did not come off in rain and the colour HAS NOT changed with the weather in 2 years. So to paint fabric I say yes.Helpful Reply
