I always wish people would show how these painted cushion projects look after a year or two outside. I have trouble picturing the finish holding up that well.
Hello. Maybe? There are fabric spray paints out there. Some reviewers are unhappy with its appearance. I would suggest reading through reviews and Q&A before investing time and money into that purchase.

Hi Pam,,
Use a water sprayer to dampen the cushions first, then use Chalk paint with a brush or roller. Let dry , then lightly sand and wax with a clear wax to seal. Hope that helps.
Honestly, you'd be far better off recovering them in new outdoor fabric as it'll last much longer and you won't have any issues with paint cracking or peeling.
Don't know how much this will help but I can at least give you the name of one brand of fabric paint NOT to use. That is Dupli-Color vinyl and fabric paint sold at amazon. This doesn't NOT cover well at all. I used 3 cans and still did not get the coverage needed on just one cushion.
