Chair is solid color, but afraid 'pile' of fabric might make painting it "stiff"??

      Yes, but trying to avoid this until....last resort. Had already bought fabric a couple of years back. Thanks

    In order to keep it soft, the fabric must be wet when painting. I use a spray bottle from the dollar store to spray water on the furniture as I go.

    Have recovered couches etc, before, looking for shortcut first, and painting may not be "that". Thank you.

    Sorry, Mona, previous reply was meant for other responder.

    Sounds like a "bit" of extra "drying time" to prevent mildew etc. But, what KIND of paint...fabric paint with medium in it, or what?
