## Description

Rust-Oleum Specialty Outdoor Fabric Spray Paint is the fast an effective way to update or recolor outdoor fabrics at a fraction of the price of replacing them. The unique spray provides rich color that repels water and resists UV damage and fading, all while remaining exceptionally flexible and soft in texture. It creates a durable, touchable surface and easily adheres to most outdoor furniture cushions, pillows and more.

Review: Discontinued for a reason. - Don’t take a gamble and believe the other reviews… I didn’t have clogging issue per say, but two cans of this wasn’t enough to cover four cushions due to the constant giant blobs of paint that would drip from it leaving patches everywhere. I would rather have bought new cushions because I now have to buy another two bottles to try and even out these splotches which has now come to $160. Beyond disappointed and honestly angry with how horrible this product is, no wonder it’s discontinued everywhere.
Review: Worked Surprisingly Well - My outdoor furniture cushions needed replacing. When I went to order them online, they would not be available for more than 6 months. In the meantime, I was left with extremely faded cushions. I took the plunge and bought the Rust-oleum Outdoor Fabric Paint in dark red. I first washed the cushions and let them dry. I then did a test spot on the bottom of one of the chair cushions. I first tried the color that looks like Caribbean blue. It came out very splotchy. When I tried the dark red, it was great. I waited until it dried to make sure I liked it before preceding. I have a very large outdoor couch and two wingback chairs . I used 12 cans of spray paint. It is pricey, but the cost to replace my cushions would be/will be over $1000. It took me several days to paint them. It did take multiple coats, but it is fabric after all and it soaks up the paint quickly. Honestly they could probably still use another coat of paint. The cushions are soft post painting, and they have held up well to us sitting on them after being in the pool. They have also endured the rain. I was able to buy most of the paint locally from various stores. I bought two cans from desertcart for touch ups. Overall, I am very happy with this paint.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: curious why this is not recommended for sun umbrellas?**
A: I don' t know why it's not recommended for sun umbrellas, but it is doing a good job on mine. I can see my umbrella from where I sit, and it looks great.

**Q: Will the color run if the cushion gets wet in the rain?  Product info says repels water... true?  Seeing comment red color bleeds.**
A: Mine is under a roof so I don’t know but it does not color well. Took a whole can to cover 1 side of a cushion. I hate the texture it made the cushion and I hate sitting on it. I did not paint any more cushions. Would not buy again.

**Q: The picture looks brown, not gray. Is it closer to brown or closer to gray?**
A: Grey

**Q: Can this be used on any type of fabric besides cotton?**
A: I used it on polyester successfully.
