Fabricoat - Fabric Paint for Furniture - 17oz / 500ml Dark Brown - Restore or Change the Color of Couches, Chairs, Upholstery, Soft Furnishings, Car Interiors, Clothing, & Footwear

I absolutely love the results. This product was so easy to use. The photo below is the before and after results of just 1 coat. I'm going leave it untill tomorrow to see if I need another coat.

Great paint . I am a doll designer and needed a child size sofa to look like the FRIENDS sofa for a series I am working on and I had a Pottery Barn sofa that. My Granddaughter had outgrown and this worked perfect . It only took two bottles along with using some fabric extender and it turned out great! I did purchase a Fabricoat paintbrush too which I am sure helped it to be a smooth process but all in all it is great!

This is 2 full bottles on a queen headboard; 1 white, 1 purple. I wanted a light purple and at frist I thought I got it. Then it fully dried (which takes about 18 hours btw). It's so much darker dry. Maybe thats just what paint does, but it's kind of crazy to me that this is the result with a full mix of white. It's also splotchy once fully dried. Now, I could do a second coat but that would mean spending ANOTHER $30 on 16 oz. of paint. Kind of insane. And if I want it lighter, Im thinking w bottles of white with 1 purple, making it $45. Maybe my biggest complaint here is just how insanley expensive it is. I'd be spending $75 on some paint for a single queen head board with 2 coats. Even if I didnt want a light color, Id still need 4 bottles as 2 was needed for the 1st coat. That's $60. Pros: easy to work with, no smell, decent coverage but small amount. Cons: Color options limited, very dark choices, dries splotchy and darker, very expensive for the amount of paint you get.

It looks good but makes fabric feel like dried paint on it.

Okay I read all the reviews first, and the product instructions. I did two methods. I wet the fabric first and I also applied dry. Both worked great, but to make your product last I suggest diluting with water, and applying wet or dry. Just make sure the fabric is clean. Two coats was perfect for the chairs I was repurposing (they were from an estate sale in a man’s cigar room and badly stained). I have cleaned them after painting and don’t have any issue with transfer or wear so far still. Love this product and would purchase again. Color is a bit brighter than I expected but diluting helped the second time. Great buy. Don’t blame the product or the company because you didn’t read up.

Painted my beige patio set cushions to black!!! Was cheaper to paint than buy new ones. I found mixing it with water for the first and last coat really made it easier. Very beautiful pillows and look like I bought it black. Took 3 coats for how dark I wanted it and 1.5 bottles.

Love it! Once I got the hang of it, it was pretty even coverage. I got a free couch off fb market place, hated the sea foam green color, & had nothing to lose!The trick is to make sure what your painting is pretty damp. Not just a spritz of water. I cleaned my couch with a spot cleaner then went right to painting. Also, I applied it with a heavy hand & worked in small sections.

I was happy to find this product and it eventually does the advertised job but a bottle doesn’t cover nearly the area advertised. It took three bottles to fully cover these chairs. I don’t recommend brushing it on. I tried it that way first and ran out of product pretty quickly. Definitely consider a sprayer and dilute the paint with some water so that your fabric gets wet as you spray. Dry fabric soaks up to product too quickly. Also it’s easier to get even coverage when spraying. Finally, don’t try going dark fabric to light fabric. This product works best when using a dark color over a lighter fabric. I’m giving it 3 stars because the product does not cover the advertised area and at $14 bucks a bottle, I expected better results. Still, I will use it again in a pinch.
