I have a rug that was damaged by water. When it dried, spots were left. I thought maybe I could paint it to use on my porch, ideas?
Spots can be seen.
There is a fabric trim.

I always use "Scrubbing Bubbles" for any furniture or carpet stain--especially in my car. Not only does it leave no residue, but it will not bleach the fabric.

Please note that a Sisal rug is made up of natural fibers and once wet, leaves a "stain". It's more of a discoloration than a stain per se, and cannot be removed. With that being said, anyone else have any ideas? I'm also an owner of a sisal that got wet and I'm also at a loss of what to do! Thanks in advance!

Oh that was a great idea, I will use also your method to try it to my rug this weekend and I hope that dirt will be easily remove. Thanks for sharing this idea.

Sisal can easily be painted! I would roll on a coat of flat latex paint- red maybe, let it dry for a full 48 hours to avoid bleed then stencil a big design- flowers or stripes, then a quick 2 coats of spray urethane- gorgeous indoors or out & super durable& easy to clean!

I used a craft apple outdoor paint to re-do some of the paint trim. What I forgot to do is add a clear protector. It will help hid the stains. However, mine was small trims, so buying large outdoor paint of latex paint and a roller to paint it all, or add a motif.

I spray painted my rug (it's outside)over a year ago with a can of paint and primer in one and it's still perfect.

I also wanted to share that I spray painted a horribly faded patio umbrella that still cranked like new. It has been 4 years and it's still wonderful!
