When you paint a fabric chair will the paint soak into padding?

I want to paint bar stools but if I don't like them I want to recover them. I don't want the expense of redoing the padding because the paint has ruined it.

    I would suggest fabric dye rather that paint; otherwise just redo everything and get it over with.

    Yes, if you use too much paint. The best thing to do is paint the fabric with a light coat of paint. let it dry. This will help seal the fabric and prevent the next layer of paint from soaking in.

      I add some PVA glue to the first coat - gives it 'stickability' and seals the fabric
