Rust-Oleum 150ml Flexible Fabric Spray Paint - Black

Product Information

Rustoleum outdoor fabric spray paint– That’s right, it turns out there is a specialty spray paint formulated specifically for painting outdoor fabrics! As you can see from the photo above, this paint covered really well! It was even able to fully cover that bright green and white leaf print and you can’t see any trace of the lighter and darker areas of the fabric.

I went in search of better paint options for painting outdoor cushions. It took a bit of digging, but I did manage to find a few options. But I wasn’t quite ready to give up. I’ve painted other fabrics over the years with great results, so I had to wonder if maybe the paint I used was the problem. Outdoor Fabric Paint Options Ensure all debris is removed. Clean with soap and water, rinse and let dry. *Softer than regular spray paint. I repeated the same steps as before: shake can for one minute, make sure surface is clean and dry, apply long even light coats to the surface and let dry. Because I needed to do a full three coats of paint, I did use quite a bit of paint. It is hard to know for sure how much spray paint is left in the can, but it feels like I used around half the can of paint on my small pillow.It still feels like fabric! Like I said earlier, after six coats I could tell the fabric was beginning to get a little tougher and a wee bit “crunchy.” I think over time it will soften and feel just like it did before I painted it. How many spray paint cans were used? Dry and recoat times are based on 70 °F (21 °C) and 50% relative humidity. Allow more time at cooler temperatures.

Using this spray paint to cover a patterned pillow took way more coats of paint than I expected it to. I am actually quite happy with the texture of my painted pillow. It is definitely much softer than the couch cushions I painted with latex paint! In fact, I doubt anyone who touched it would ever guess it had been painted. These points are what differentiates it from regular spray paint. How to use Rustoleum Outdoor Fabric Paint Even though you do need to let the paint dry for thirty minutes between coats, it only took a few seconds to spray each coat of paint on my small pillow and a larger set of couch cushions could be done in just a few minutes.Next make long even light sprays across the surface of the fabric. Don’t let the paint puddle in one area. I made this mistake. I haven’t tested the other colors of this paint yet, but based on my experience with other paints, I would guess the lighter paint colors probably won’t cover bright colors and patterns quite as well. Time

The painted cushions looked so much better than the old faded fabric had. But the texture was a lot more stiff than I would have liked and the paint wasn’t able to completely cover the floral pattern.
