Spray painted outdoor cushion, looking around to see what else I can paint!
Before (after I had started)
My sister has the peacock chair that she has always wanted, got it for a steal at a yard sale for $50, 2 years ago, the cushion included is a very light creamy color (almost white) she got new outdoor seating with cushions included this year and wanted everything to match. I told her that I saw on hometalk that someone painted their outdoor cushions with spray paint. The cushion was textured and nubby before and she bought cheap Walmart $1.64 paint which is a gloss finish, so it IS a little scratchy, but not real bad, I would have bought a flat or matte finish, but maybe it just depends on the fabric. We don't wear short shorts anyway,lol.
After
2 cans of paint $3.30, used about 1 1/2 cans with 4 coats on each side, only because white is so hard to cover evenly with a darker color, each coat dried very,very quickly. Matches her other cushions perfectly!

This is real inspiration. We have 2 papason chairs. Different because when our girls were little they helped my father in his shop. He let them pick new material for the chairs. It's time I do something fun with them. I think my hubby would approve it. Just paint and old furniture. So many people have asked us for these chairs for free. Nothing doing. They were from mother's and father's day one year and had matched so long ago. A small fortune to replace now. Thanks for sharing.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
doesn't the paint make the fabric stiff and a bit hard. will it keep its water resistant from getting into the cushion
