Painting my two herculon upholstery material sofas?

This is so nice. It was a pretty chair to start with but didn't say anything. You've made it an eye grabber. It is very elegant looking. It calls for your attention. Did you do cushions first, then frame? Or other way around?

The cushions were not removable on this chair, painted the wood with chalk paint and the cushions.

Wow that looks great! I have read where some say certain fabrics are paintable and also stated to sand or rub between each painting.

You can lightly sand, if needed in between each coat with fine grit sand paper, I did not do it in between each coat but did a few times and at the end of the painting process and before sealing.

OK thanks for all the info...looks great! Hard to tell in my hide a bed photos but they are GREEN!!!!! if it wasn't for the green I would be ok with them as they are very nice looking....not comfortable but no one ever sits on them for more than a couple times a year....usually in our sunroom or we sit in the lazyboys.....thanks for your input.

Cindy,

Curious how does the material feel after chalk painting them?

Spouse had them Redone in the 90's for $2000. I think I t would cost me twice that much if I had someone. We live in a remote area , so nothing local. They are very heavy....the spring in them make them heavy and uncomfortable.....I do like the material on them just not the green color.

Think I will eventually try painting the bottom side of the cushions..see how they turn out. If it is a disaster , I won't be too upset...spouse might.(lol)

Thanks for your info.
