Impressive. I was looking for videos to see if anyone out there has ever painted outdoor fabric cushions with some sort of canned exterior latex. I figured if it doesnt come out of your clothes it's got to adhere to outdoor fabric. Any thoughts as to whether or not anyone has tried it?

@AshleighPhelps 9 ай бұрын

Thank you!!! It doesn’t rub off at all! Once it dries- it dries into the fabric like a stain. I can wipe is down as well. Now I will say I haven’t tried to deep clean it with a carpet/fabric cleaner or anything but I’m picky about my couches anyway. I don’t let kids put their shoes on the couch or allow the animals on the couch either so I really only need a wipe down here and there and I just use disinfectant wipes. Hope this helps!!! :)

Hahaha!!! No- you didn’t! It absorbs into the couch fabric and dries. So the paint isn’t actually sitting on top of the couch. Does that make since? So once it dries, it’s there forever and it doesn’t transfer. :)

Since it’s got that cardboard material inside. I’d say do it in steps- so you don’t completely soak it. So maybe do the first layer- let it dry completely and then the next layer… and so forth based on your color and how solid or deep you want the color.
