IrishScrapper on Apr 17, 2015I am getting ready to try this. The information that I have found is to use a good quality spray paint, but you Must brush the cushion between coats of paint. And only do a light coat of paint each time. They said that the brushing allows the cushion or whatever soft thing that you are painting to feel soft and not have that hard, rigid feeling of being painted. Whether or not it will work..I still have to find out. I hope this helps maybe a little.Helpful Reply

Denice Allen on Apr 19, 2015I use floral spray paint.... it stays soft, not crunchy or brittle, like regular spray paint or gesso will do, and there is no in between brushing....gesso will be stiff and will crack if you sit on it and it is water soluble, so you will need to bring your cushions in when it rains or you will come out and find your old fabric peeking through again... floral spray paint comes in a lot of different colors....I painted my expensive honeycomb window treatments and they turned out beautiful... hope this helps.... enjoy your project :)Helpful Reply

Pat Bialek on Jun 14, 2015I have painted all sorts of upholstery...from patio cushions, to inside upholstered chairs, loveseats, couches! I have used just regular latex paint! It may be a little stiff but I have not had it crack at all! In fact when the cushions are dirty, just wipe off and/or repaint! I have been very happy with the outcome!Helpful Reply
