Worked just as described,

This review is from: Upholstery Fabric Spray Paint Black Dries Soft
My parents gave me a black sectional sofa that is approximately 25 years old. It was horribly faded to some ugly purplish color. I refused to use this sofa in that condition, so I looked for a restoration method. It is very difficult to find a slip cover for a sectional sofa, and when I did find one, it was extremely expensive. I then thought to myself "I wonder if they have a spray paint for furniture?". Sure enough, they did, and I stumbled across this Upholstery Spray Paint.
I read the reviews from as many sources as possible. The main complaints I saw were: 1. The paint takes a few days to totally dry. 2. You need a fair amount of paint. 3. The paint runs and drips a bit. Having seen these complaints, and knowing my situation, I figured I could deal with all of these caveats. The time to dry and the paint running was not an issue since I was painting a couch on a tarp in my attic rather than a car seat. I made sure to order plenty (I ordered a 12 can package, from the manufacturer). I found a discount code online and between the code and the quantity I ordered I got free shipping and the total cost was $107. That is vs the nearly $1000 I probably would have paid to have the couch re-upholstered. But, does it actually work? YES, it does! I was a bit worried about the material of this sofa since it wasn't as soft a fabric as other couches I've sat on. I was afraid perhaps the paint wouldn't soak into the material, especially because the manufacturer's site warns about this. I went ahead with it anyway, and it worked just fine. I have completed two of the three sections that I plan on using and have only used 6 cans (I anticipated using 12 for the whole project). By the time I finish the whole project and any touch up work needed, I should have 2 extra cans. I should mention that I have no experience painting anything. I found the best method for painting my sofa (since it has ruffles on it) was to put on some rubber gloves, spray for a few seconds, rub the paint in with your hand, and then move to the next area. The first couch section I did has a few of the ruffle areas that need retouching, since I didn't start the "rub the paint in with your hand" method until the second section. The second section looks perfect! The first one, with the exception of the spots I missed, looks fantastic as well. Keep in mind I was not changing the color of a sofa. I was simply restoring it to black from a very very faded black. Having said that, it looks brand new! It looks black as night, just like I wanted it, and it cost me $107. This was advertised as not drying hard. I found the couch is a little stiffer than it was before, but I feel that this will break in after some usage. It is still comfortable to sit on, and the only time you notice is when touching it with bare skin. If I didn't have an unpainted section of the couch to compare to, I wouldn't have known that anything was different. I also think this probably had something to do with the material the couch was made out of (the stiffer fabric vs plain cotton). Someone mentioned having to squeeze the trigger of the spray bottle very hard to get it to work. I had to do this on a few bottles, but that's not a big deal to me. It is what it is. The product still works. All in all, for my project, I'd give this a 10/10. I'm so happy I found this product and I highly recommend it to anyone that is doing something similar to what I did. I can't speak for completely changing a piece of furniture's color, for example, from white to red, but making faded black back to black again, it worked 100%.

Great product!,

I can't believe the so-so reviews on this... so obvious it's a competitor writing the negative comments-uggh- spam. Anyway, I used it to cover a victorian loveseat- it had pet stains on it and was looking gross in general, so i decided to spray it with this paint. I chose a hot pink color (the color was white before). It took me a an afternoon and about 5 cans of spray paint. I was so happy I finally covered all the stains AND got to color it a cool color. It's been a few months and it hasn't faded, color doesn't wipe off or transfer onto clothes and best of all- it transformed the decor in the room... I am looking to do this to a few of my other old furniture, but am waiting to until the colors wear out a little bit more. My cats aren't even phased by the loveseat- they sit and sleep on the loveseat as if nothing was done to their favorite piece of furniture. Long story- short: This is stuff ROCKS!

Not the best of its kind,
This review is from: Upholstery Fabric Spray Paint Black Dries Soft
What can I say. I bought one of these and its not as great as it sounds.
I got one of these and one of the Dupli-Color High Performance Vinyl & Fabric Spray - Flat Black (the Simply Spray one was black too). According to the Simply Spray website, the paint is great for car seats. I did my passenger seat in the Simply Spray stuff and the driver's seat in the dupli-color stuff. Simply Spray: -Easier to clean off of stuff you get over spray on -Difficult to get a consistent spray -It must soak into the seats, you use a lot more because of this -You have to rub it into the seat getting a mess of it on your hands and arms -The spay top is like a can of compressed air -It causes drips a lot, but is not a problem because your spaying it on fabric, so it will soak up -Takes 72 hours to dry (now you know why I used it on the passenger's seat) -$11.99 per 8oz can Dupli-Color: -Much easier to spray -Keeps a consistent layer -You do not use as much paint -You need to shake the can for more than a minute to ensure it gets a proper color -Smells bad (like spray paint) -Takes 24 hours to dry -$7.99 per 11oz can Be warned, if you live in a cold climate, these require the temperature to be at least 70 degrees (F). If you live in a hot climate, they should not be used in temperatures above 90 degrees (F).
