About Fabric Paint Kit
The Fabric Paint Kit has been designed to provide you with all the products you need to thoroughly clean, paint and protect all fabric items. It also includes all the accessories you need to apply the products, ensuring you get the best results every time.
The product remains soft and flexible when applied, and can be used to restore the colour of fabric, or change the colour completely. Its great for upholstery, headboards, curtains, lamp shades and all other fabrics; it can even be used on outdoor fabrics such as garden furniture cushions, awnings and canopies.
Painting fabrics without a texture change
FabriCoat fabric paint is designed to soak into fabrics and change the colour with little, or no texture change. However, in order to achieve this, the product must be used correctly. If you brush the product on and leave it to dry it can stick fibres together causing them to feel stiff. To avoid this, after applying each coat of FabriCoat, brush the fabric thoroughly using the Cleaning Brush. For heavy piled fabrics we also recommend brushing several times throughout the drying period. This will ‘unstick’ and fibres that have grouped together.
It is inevitable that you won’t be able to unstick every fibre so immediately after application the fabric may feel slightly stiffer. To correct this, simply brush the fabric again using the Cleaning Brush. Day-to-day use of the fabric will also remove any stiffness.
Fabric Paint Kit is Suitable For
The Fabric Paint Kit can be used to restore or change the colour of any type of fabric, textile or canvas; both natural and synthetic.
Fabric Paint Kit Coverage and Shelf Life
Small Kit – This is enough product to cover a large armchair (you likely have some left over).
Large Kit – This is enough product to cover a three seater sofa.
If your fabric has a pile, such as velvet, faux-suede, chenille, draylon or microfibre you will need to use more product. This is because there is a lot more surface area to cover on these types of fabric. We recommend ordering double the above quantities of fabric paint for these fabric types. We would also recommend that you brush the fabric at regular intervals during the drying period to ensure that the fabric does not go stiff.

Fabric Paint Kit – Instructions
Step 1 – Cleaning the fabric
Make sure the material is clean and free of dust. For best results, the fabric must be the same colour or lighter than the colour you are applying. The material must also be absorbent.
Clean the fabric thoroughly with the Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner.
For small items, such as clothing, wash these in a washing machine without adding fabric conditioner.
Step 2 – Applying the FabriCoat fabric paint
Dampen the fabric first with water. We recommend spraying water on with a trigger spray bottle, but if you don’t have one you can wipe it on too with a sponge or cloth. The water will help the FabriCoat soak into the material better, and will also help create a more even finish.
Pour the paint into a bowl and dip in the Paint Brush. Rub this into the fabric and it will instantly soak in and change the colour. Apply one coat this way and leave to dry.
If the fabric has a pile, it may feel slightly rough once dry. This is due to the fibres sticking together. Brush the pile in all directions with the Cleaning Brush. This will loosen the fibres and soften the fabric. Brushing the pile while the FabriCoat is still wet can also help to avoid any roughness as the it dries.
Apply a second coat of fabric paint in the exact same way as the first. Leave it to dry naturally.
Once you are happy with the colour leave it to dry overnight and your fabric is ready to use.
Step 3 – Protecting the fabric
If the fabric feels rough at this stage, give it a good rub with the cleaning brush. This will remove any FabriCoat that didn’t soak in properly and also help to loosen any fibres that were stuck together.
Spray the Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner onto the fabric so the surface becomes wet.
Leave it to dry and your fabric is ready to use.
Fabric Paint Kit – FAQ
Q. Can I use your fabric paint to paint any fabric item?
A. Yes, FabriCoat is incredibly versatile and can be used on any fabric item including chairs, sofas, upholstery, clothes, curtains, car interiors, carpets and many more!
Q. Will painting my fabric change the feel?
A. No, FabriCoat is designed to dry with a soft, flexible finish, allowing you to recolour, or change the colour of your fabric items without changing how they feel. However, if you apply too much fabric paint, or if the material you are applying it to feels very soft/silky/velvety prior to application, then it may slightly stiffen the fabric. This can be reduced by brushing the fabric afterwards with our Cleaning Brush.
Q. Can it be used as a fabric spray paint?
A. Yes, spraying the paint onto fabrics is a great way to cover a larger area quickly, or, to create specific design effects.
Q. Can the fabric paint be used on any colour?
A. Yes you can paint fabrics any colour with this product. However, if you want to change the colour of an item of fabric then you must go to a darker colour.
Q. Is it a fabric paint for clothes?
A. Yes, it can be used to paint clothes and all other items of fabric such as sofas, shoes and soft furnishings.
Q. Do you have a black fabric paint?
A. Yes, there is a black fabric paint in our range of colours. This is highly concentrated so is great for both restoring or changing the colour of fabric to black.
Q. Can you use acrylic paint on fabric?
A. Our Fabric Paint is not an acrylic paint, it is made from polyurethanes and so is a lot more flexible. We wouldn’t recommend using an acrylic paint on fabric.
Q. Will the fabric paint colour come off in the wash?
A. No. The FabriCoat takes 24 hours to become touch-dry and can be used after that, but we recommend waiting a full seven days before washing the fabric to allow the colour to fully cure. Once it’s fully cured, the material can be washed and cleaned as normal.
