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. 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. Using this spray paint to cover a patterned pillow took way more coats of paint than I expected it to.Below is the second cushion I sprayed. It looks much better because I didn’t spray near as much product on the surface. 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 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. 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

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.First shake the can for at least one minute. Make sure you hear the ball rattling when you start your minute countdown. 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 Below is the first cushion that I sprayed. You can see on the left side where I was a little too heavy handed and used too much spray paint. I’m guessing because this is a cushion and a good majority of the paint will be absorbed is why it’s taking so many coats? If my logic is wrong then tell me.;) One downside is I did need to do three full coats of paint plus touch ups around the seams of the cushions to get good enough coverage to cover the bright pattern well.
