What Customers Are Saying

Customers are divided on this outdoor fabric paint. Many praise vibrant color results and soft finish that revives faded cushions, but a large portion report spray nozzles consistently clog, detach, or fail—even with proper use—rendering multiple cans unusable. Reviewers note the paint requires three to four coats for full coverage and struggles with dark fabrics. While successful users describe excellent outcomes, widespread nozzle failures frustrate many who cannot complete projects. Despite strong color performance, the unreliability of the spray mechanism and high product volume needed leave some questioning overall value.

Don't Waste Your Time or Money

Would Not Recommend

This product is a good idea - I always like anti-consumer tricks that avoid buying new - BUT I was very disappointed with the results. My patio cushions were badly faded on the fronts. I picked a color that was close, thinking it would be easier to cover. After FOUR coats, the spray paint did "cover" but you could still see the pattern underneath (see pic 1). I don't want to apply more paint, because the material is getting rough and kind of pilled. Disappointed with the final outcome - c...

It made my patio umbrella look like new

Great product! One can sprayed on the sun-faded white spots of my red patio umbrella saved me from buying a new umbrella.

A great purchase

Would Recommend

True to color on cap. When dry, good texture and softness. Sticks to fabric well with no peeling or flaking. It was a good quick fix for an old chair. We use the chair inside despite the product being advertised for outdoor furniture. The only thing negative I could say about it is that the coverage could be a little better since I used a whole can on the chair but it probably could use another coat so as to totally not see the underlying fabric. But I don't really mind because the chair was jus...

Easy and inexpensive update

Would Recommend

I tried this product on a whim and it exceeded my expectations! My outdoor patio couch is several years old and the cushions were sun bleached. I was able to paint both 20x20" cushions with only one can! Although I did use it to the very last breath. Be aware that it takes about three coats to get full coverage. Trust the process!

FABULOUS PRODUCT!

Would Recommend

I always read reviews and saw the negative ones - but I have NO idea what they're talking about. This stuff is GREAT! Had really dirty 5 year old tan cushions and was either going to dye them or recover them. As with lots of painting, preparation is key. I used Spray and wash and detergent and hosed down the cushions on the jet nozzle and let em dry. First can had clumpy product (probably the nozzle) so I brushed it in with a 1 1/2 inch paintbrush. Great coverage - dried quickly. 2nd c...

Not good paint

Would Not Recommend

I know some people have had luck with this paint, but I’m not sure if it’s my cushion fabric type or if they are too old, or what, but this stuff did not work on my cushions. I used almost a whole can on 1/2 a cushion and it still had spots and looked horrible. Yes, I painted correctly. Yes, I read instructions and did reaearch online about this paint. I don’t recommend it at all.

Great Product

Would Recommend

I have used this for outdoor furniture, 5 cushions. You need to shake the can every so often to mix it well and dont get to close nor spray alot at one time and you will not have an issue. Picture shows before and after. Does not feel tacky.

Loved this product

Would Recommend

I have a cover for a chaise lounge chair that was made really nicely put the color needed to go. I tried to dye it in the washing machine but it didn’t take the color. I had see this product earlier, so I went back and purchased two cans. It was so easy to use and the cushion looks absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t be more pleased. It should be noted that it did take both cans to do the front and back of the chaise cushion. Well worth the money.
