How To Paint A Fabric Chair | Upholstered Furniture Painting Tutorial with a Bold Flower Pattern | countrychicpaint.com/how-to-paint-upholstery
Do you have old, fabric furniture that you're thinking about throwing out or donating? Just wait! You can give it new life by painting the upholstery with Country Chic Paint.
Step 1) shake, stir, and pour your paint - As always with painting, start by shaking your jar thoroughly, then opening it up and giving it a good stir. To avoid potentially contaminating your entire jar of paint, pour some off into a cup for use on your project.
Step 2) Tape the edges - If you’re painting just one area of your chair or there are accents that you wish to leave as is, use some painter’s tape to protect them.
Step 3) Dilute your paint or spray the fabric with water - Before applying your paint, spray down the entire fabric surface with water. It doesn’t need to be soaking wet, just damp. This will help the paint spread more smoothly and help to avoid that crunchy feeling once it dries. If you prefer, mix 1 part paint with 3 parts water and apply directly onto dry fabric.
Step 4) Apply a coat of paint - Before the water dries, begin applying your first coat of paint. Keep in mind that the tighter the fabric weave, the less the paint will soak into the fabric. If you find that the paint is drying too stiffly for your liking, there are fabric mediums on the market which you can mix in with the paint to help soften the feel.
We would advise against trying to paint a very loose weave fabric as it will require a lot of paint to get opaque coverage.
Step 5) Add more paint coats if necessary - As you can see in the picture above, the paint will soak into the fabric while it dries. To achieve a more opaque look, give the first coat about 1 hour to dry, then apply a second coat.
Step 6) Seal with Clear Wax - This step is optional. If you want to add a little more protection or help soften the finish, apply a thin coat of Country Chic Paint's Clear Wax and buff it dry.
