This chair needed a makeover but I didn't want to deal with making a slipcover. So she was my gunea pig for this painting project. For tips on how to paint the fabric with regular latex paint, click on the link provided.

    Can you paint polyester fabric couch & chairs? What paint, Latex, acrylic?

    Would love to try this. Just wondering if the chair feels any different after painting. Is it stiffer, rougher or less comfortable? Thanks!

    Can you use egg shell (latex)?

      @Mary McKee it should work, but it will have a different sheen finishing. Eggshell is not that "shiny" anyway. That said, I have not used the eggshell finish in my project, so I am not 100% sure
