Vinyl & Fabric Coating

It took me a while to commit to trying this paint. I love my old swivel chairs...they’ve always been a great style & conversation piece to my room...but with chihuahuas on the arms and sun in the room for 8 years (plus the 20-30 years prior to my owning them) well...the royal purple of them became more the color of grape Big League Chew after you’ve had it in your mouth for an hour (who can do that, even?) anyway...I don’t have the money to get them reupholstered they way I want to...with covid, no one is coming to the house to do it and shipping them would be insane...but I’m OCD and the arms and color were killing me. So...I researched the heck out of ANY paint or covering I could use on my cushions. The link that won me over was a fella’ that used it to redo the black velvet seats in his classic car. I figured...well, if it worked well for him, I would give it a go on my “classic” chairs. I read his tutorial and a few others, and all the reviews here. Everyone IS correct: it doesn’t leave softer material soft. Now, I REALLY covered the crap out of mine. I had a “waffle” 70s fabric on these chairs - basically, the surface was like a Triscut cracker. So, I sprayed it in one direction, waited a few mins “combed” it with a high end leather brush, then sprayed in the opposite direction, waited a few mins, then “combed” it again. THEN I used a “round brush” I used to use for my hair - a medium sized one. Scratchy bristles. The kind of brush you can use to get fuzz and lint off of surfaces (yes! It works! It will also brush your wool blankets soft, too!). I did this to “soften” the paint, so it didn’t pool in the divots of the fabric. I did use a LOT of it the first time...like a can for one side of the cushion. I used less on the second cushion...with the caveat by that time I HAD to use enough to make the cushions match. I let them dry overnight - and then did a final spray and let that dry during the day in the sun a bit. I’ve never seen it come off on my hands or clothing. I’ve vacuumed it and it doesn’t crack. There is no “dust” that comes off it - that I can see. I can STILL run a brush over it to get lint off, without any harm coming to it, and no loss of color. Yes, it IS a little hard to the touch, but honestly, the chairs are for looking, not sitting generally...except for the dogs, and the dogs actually don’t seem to be ruining the paint either - they’ve “nested” in them - to my shock and surprise!!!!!! - but nothing happened. They’re still happy to sit there and, when I’ve completed the project, I’m sure I’ll sit on them, too (I’m painting the entire chair, but trying to reupholster the arms with Turkish rug material, as opposed to reupholstering all of it). I will try to post again when the entire chair is done, but the cushions turned out great so far, so I am posting in case anyone was wondering if this would work for something INDOOR. Again, would I want to paint my couch with it...that I sit on everyday...probably not. But, for a weird old fabric that was wool-based anyhow and that needed a POP of color in an affordable and DOABLE way (I’m adventurous with projects but...have to be confident I can do them without ruining something before I go for it), well...it was 100% what I was looking for. I ordered 6 more cans of it (I think I have 10?) to do the rest of the chairs. It’ll be a project that cost me less than $100. I think if I can get the entire chair looking as good as the cushions, it’ll be well worth it for the “wow factor” of the before and after. And really, this burgundy color is quite beautiful. Give it a try! ^_^

Great for small worm areas of car leather seats.

This Stuff is AMAZING. It covers so evenly even though I am NOT good at applying it, dries lightning fast, and doesn’t rub off. Redoing a bunch of old booths we got for free at our business and LOOK how good it looks! They look brand new! Saved so much money on re-upholstering them, and the color is a gorgeous deep burgundy. Time to order more. I got about one booth per can.

So it’s not the color I was expecting from the lid/top but it’s still a nice gray color(I was wanting darker). Using the adhesion promoter it worked very well. The can says to shake for 10 seconds after every minute of use,don’t miss this step or continue to shake can as you’re working or you will get splatter. Trying to install one of the pieces afterwards it did rub off on the corners and I put 3 coats on. Overall it’s a very nice paint that works well,not sure it will hold up with 3 coats since the first 2 are pretty thin,maybe do 4 or 5. I’m happy with how it turned out just wanted darker but not black.

I bought this paint to restore the faded black cushions on my outdoor bed swing after years of Tennessee sun had turned them almost gray in the areas that received the most exposure. Overall, I am very pleased with the results. A few tips for anyone considering this project: plan on multiple light coats. It took four coats to get good, even coverage. Don't try to rush it by spraying heavily. Apply a coat, let it dry, and then apply the next. Otherwise, the paint just seems to soak into the fabric instead of building coverage. Think of it as layering the color rather than painting it all at once. Also, shake the cans thoroughly before starting and again periodically throughout the project. I stopped halfway through each can to give it another good shake. For my project, I used four cans total to apply four coats to the fronts and sides of the cushions. When finished, the fabric did have a somewhat stiff feel. To soften it up, I used a medium-stiff broom and brushed the fabric back and forth. That seemed to help quite a bit without affecting the color. I've used this product before on automotive carpet with good results and no rubbing off, so I'm hopeful it will hold up equally well outdoors. Time will tell, but so far it has made a dramatic improvement and saved me from replacing expensive cushions. I'll update my review if I run into any durability issues, but at this point I would definitely recommend it.

Fast drying, good adhesion to surface, colour matches the cap but actual finish is more matt than above image. it is very translucent, would recommend a primer for a more consistent finish on fabric.

Great purchase for changing the look of your vehicle. I used on a 2006 Pontiac G6 with Tan Upholstery and was able to get a nice Black Upholstery with a surprising result. the color went on fine with just a few coats as instructed. Noo stiff feeling or residue left afterwards. Just follow the instructions after a good cleaning and drying.

Great Product

Good product and a good price. Thanks.

This stuff worked really good I would recommend it, the out come looked great.

Perfect. This turned an all white vinyl motorcycle seat into black in a way where it looks factory. I was worried about how it would look and how to apply it properly as I’m artistically cursed. All praise to this little can of magic.

No sirveeee! Lo aplique en una sala de vinil y literal no sirve.. aparte de que tardo muchísimo en llegar.. tiré el dinero a la basura, si lo buscas para tapar alguna rotura de tu sillón, esto no sirve..
