Rust-Oleum Outdoor Fabric Spray Paint, 12 oz, Graphite, (Pack of 1)

My old pillows were stained even though I had treated with scotch guard. I figured I couldn’t go wrong with this stuff. It already looked bad. The sizes of the cushions were hard to find so this was the best option I could come up with. The batch of cans I had sprayed fine. But did get some that seemed to be clogging inside the can. The pressure of the paint would just go away and splutter to a stop. But once I got new cans they did great. Now going from white to navy took a lot of coats. I used overall 4 cans of this stuff, so expect to basically use a can per cushion you have. It stiffens up the fabric some but I do think it will soften with time and much softer than had I just used spray paint. I finished it off with heavy duty scotch guard though I am certain had I not, it would have been still great and expect these to hold up. And will be easy to touch up as it fades (if it even does!) Looking back I wish I had chosen a color closer to the original color, perhaps the light gray, because it took a lot of coats. My sister in law will be trying the green on her green cushions and I can’t wait to see the results. I included the before, during, and after photos.

I normally do not take the time to review my purchases, but I had to share my experience with this great product. For many years, I have enjoyed my favorite porch swing but all 6 cushions looked old and sun bleached.. I bought and tried this fabric spray paint with the hope that I might salvage the cushions instead of having to buy expensive replacements. I was amazed with the results!! The project was easy and the cushions dried quickly to a soft texture. My swing set now looks brand new again.

Now I know why it’s on sale. Spray button clogged from the get go. Spraying a single stream that went everywhere. Followed all of the troubleshooting for unclogging and still didn’t work. Even soaked the spray button in hot water. Nothing. It’s NON-REFUNDABLE. Buy elsewhere!

I have used the spray on two fabric styles now. I first decided to try it on an arm chair I got from pier 1 close to 8 years ago and the fabric didn’t match anything o had anymore and my curiosity got the better of me so I decided to try fabric paint. It took me 7 bottles/cans to evenly cover the entire arm chair. Took about 5 days to fully dry so there wasn’t any smudging paint. The one challenge I had was making sure the painting was evenly across the fabric as it had the tendency of lighter and darker coverage areas so that took some getting use to. The paint quality is durable and a solid navy blue color which was what I had wanted. It has been about 6 months since I painted the chair and it still looks good. You can use this paint to change the color of a fabric or cushion but keep in mind if the fabric has a texture on it the textured pattern will remain.

The Rust-Oleum Fabric Paint did its jo just fine. My 9-foot umbrella is over 9 years old and faded from bright Red to pink. I used 2 cans of paint, one for each layer. I also added a “trigger grip” to the Rust-Oleum can and the job went easily and took a little over 2 hours, spraying two layers and waiting about an hour between sprays. The color, Chili Red is more Orange than red, but looks good with red brick. (See my photos). There was no clogging up of the paint spray as some reviewers stated, and the hand trigger is a “must” for every painter! Little pricey, but hopefully will be worth it. The umbrella feels and looks like new!! Highly recommend!!

This is very thin an wicks through the fabric. Its almost like a cross between a die and a paint. If you try to use it for a stencil it will ruin your project. Seems fine for other purposes.

I had an old green awning that was supposed to be thrown away. When I looked at replacement costs, I decided to keep it. It sat in my backyard for over a year, until I got this idea to paint it. I used 2 cans and didn’t spray the inside of it. Outdoor fabric is tough to paint so if you have a larger project consider that you will need quite a few cans. I really needed 2 more cans to spray inside. Great product. It has endured very heavy rain and no color loss has occurred. No color transfer onto my pink colored house either.

My silk victorian lamp shade would cost me a few hundred dollars to replace. It is over 30 years old and had water marks. Instead of buying a new white silk shade, I used the khaki colored outdoor fabric spray paint. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this product. Thank you.
