    You can paint it with chaulk paint. I haven’t tried it but I have dyed a fabric sofa. I used liquid dye. Mix the dye with water. I painted on with a brush. You will need to protect you floors. I moved mine to the garage & put old plastic shower curtains under it. Depending on if you sofa has been treated with a waterproof (which most do from the factory) the dye will run off. You will just need to keep putting it on & rubbing it in. I found the areas you sit & use took it well & only needed 1 coat. The backs & areas that don’t get used & had to rub it in. Let it dry. It might take a day or two to dry before you can sit on it. It did not rub off after it was dry.
