I used 3 cans trying to cover one car bucket seat. Emailed company and was told that maybe the seat had repellant coating.

I tried this on an old crushed velvet car seat insert. It dried quite stiff. Be sure to test it in a hidden spot before you do the whole project.

I had 2 fabric seat cushions for rattan arm chairs that needed a color change from beige to something darker. I picked Hunter Green. Here’s the story:
I read all the online materials and watched the video. I’m an experienced spray paint user but have never used it on fabric. From the examples shown, I expected that I needed a single can of paint for the 2 cushions. Wrong.
The ordered can arrived and I read all the instructions. Perhaps I should have been worried by all the warnings and specific instructions on correct usage. I followed them and still have regrets. First, the company’s idea of “Hunter Green” is not what you’d expect; in fact it’s not even what they show in their materials. The color that sprays from the can has a colder, more blue hue than shown on the label or in print materials. Okay, maybe it was just me or the way the cushion fabric took the color.
The trigger mechanism on the spray can requires substantial grip strength to maintain an even spray. Failure to compress the trigger adequately gives sputtering, paint streaming and loss of propellant. This only happened twice to me in that first can but the remainder of the spray process was an ordeal, requiring a death-grip on the trigger.
With the death-grip, paint application was smooth and regular. For cushions with buttons and edge piping, be sure to spread the creases and massage the paint into them. Don’t go into this process thinking you’d come out clean. The dried paint will come off your hands & fingernails with soap & water.
When the spray can came to its end, I had about 1-1/2 cushions completed. Right now I’m thinking the company folk are saying, “He sputtered away too much propellant!” “He spent too much paint in the creases!” Maybe, but I doubt it. Maybe I’ll restate here that I’m all too familiar with the business end of a spray paint can. I know what I’m doing but I’ll offer this to readers: this is NOT like spraying acrylic on furniture or flat-black on ironwork. This paint behaves differently.
Okay, so I’m left with unfinished cushions. If you are smarter than me, you’ll finish one item before starting the 2nd. I gave the first cushion the recommended complete light coat and then addressed the second cushion. So I was left with both cushions incomplete when the lights went out.
I ordered a 2nd can of paint and included a note expressing my disappointment that nowhere are there usable estimates of area coverage for a can. Not a word from the seller; not an email, nothing in the 2nd shipped package. I mention this because shipping is cheaper if you order 2 cans once, rather than 1 can twice.
So today I spread out the drop cloth again and went at my pale green cushions. This time the can would NOT spray a mist no matter how hard I gripped the trigger. It wouldn’t do it. Paint came out the spout in a pinpoint stream. Shaking didn’t help; wiping the spout didn’t help. Resigned, I finished the cushions by spraying the stream rapidly over an area and rubbing it in with my other hand. Because the paint is water soluble and the fabric is absorbent, you can get a decently even coverage that way. After all, these are outdoor rattan chair seat cushions, not fancy indoor sofa cushions.
Bottom line, if I had to do this again [or if I choose to "refresh" the not-so-Hunter-Green color I got] I’d look seriously at auto fabric paint — maybe Dupli-Color — for this outdoor application.

My parents gave me a black sectional sofa that is approximately 25 years old. It was horribly faded to some ugly purplish color. I refused to use this sofa in that condition, so I looked for a restoration method. It is very difficult to find a slip cover for a sectional sofa, and when I did find one, it was extremely expensive. I then thought to myself “I wonder if they have a spray paint for furniture?”. Sure enough, they did, and I stumbled across this Upholstery Spray Paint.
I read the reviews from as many sources as possible. The main complaints I saw were:
1. The paint takes a few days to totally dry.
2. You need a fair amount of paint.
3. The paint runs and drips a bit.
Having seen these complaints, and knowing my situation, I figured I could deal with all of these caveats. The time to dry and the paint running was not an issue since I was painting a couch on a tarp in my attic rather than a car seat. I made sure to order plenty (I ordered a 12 can package, from the manufacturer). I found a discount code online and between the code and the quantity I ordered I got free shipping and the total cost was $107. That is vs the nearly $1000 I probably would have paid to have the couch re-upholstered.
But, does it actually work?
YES, it does!
I was a bit worried about the material of this sofa since it wasn’t as soft a fabric as other couches I’ve sat on. I was afraid perhaps the paint wouldn’t soak into the material, especially because the manufacturer’s site warns about this. I went ahead with it anyway, and it worked just fine.
I have completed two of the three sections that I plan on using and have only used 6 cans (I anticipated using 12 for the whole project). By the time I finish the whole project and any touch up work needed, I should have 2 extra cans.
I should mention that I have no experience painting anything. I found the best method for painting my sofa (since it has ruffles on it) was to put on some rubber gloves, spray for a few seconds, rub the paint in with your hand, and then move to the next area. The first couch section I did has a few of the ruffle areas that need retouching, since I didn’t start the “rub the paint in with your hand” method until the second section. The second section looks perfect! The first one, with the exception of the spots I missed, looks fantastic as well.
Keep in mind I was not changing the color of a sofa. I was simply restoring it to black from a very very faded black. Having said that, it looks brand new! It looks black as night, just like I wanted it, and it cost me $107.
This was advertised as not drying hard. I found the couch is a little stiffer than it was before, but I feel that this will break in after some usage. It is still comfortable to sit on, and the only time you notice is when touching it with bare skin. If I didn’t have an unpainted section of the couch to compare to, I wouldn’t have known that anything was different. I also think this probably had something to do with the material the couch was made out of (the stiffer fabric vs plain cotton).
Someone mentioned having to squeeze the trigger of the spray bottle very hard to get it to work. I had to do this on a few bottles, but that’s not a big deal to me. It is what it is. The product still works.
All in all, for my project, I’d give this a 10/10. I’m so happy I found this product and I highly recommend it to anyone that is doing something similar to what I did. I can’t speak for completely changing a piece of furniture’s color, for example, from white to red, but making faded black back to black again, it worked 100%.

I can’t believe the so-so reviews on this… so obvious it’s a competitor writing the negative comments-uggh- spam. Anyway, I used it to cover a victorian loveseat- it had pet stains on it and was looking gross in general, so i decided to spray it with this paint. I chose a hot pink color (the color was white before). It took me a an afternoon and about 5 cans of spray paint. I was so happy I finally covered all the stains AND got to color it a cool color. It’s been a few months and it hasn’t faded, color doesn’t wipe off or transfer onto clothes and best of all- it transformed the decor in the room… I am looking to do this to a few of my other old furniture, but am waiting to until the colors wear out a little bit more. My cats aren’t even phased by the loveseat- they sit and sleep on the loveseat as if nothing was done to their favorite piece of furniture. Long story- short: This is stuff ROCKS!
