However, the paint needs a longer time to cure. This product is bakeable, which gives it a permanent, dishwasher-safe finish.

I don’t know how it would hold up long term. The paint once it was cured (approximately 2 weeks) didn’t transfer and was relatively soft. I have stenciled canvas using chalk paint as well without any clear coat and made a pillow out of it. It’s holding up really well without any issues. I used Bungalow 47’s matte clear coat over the top to get the leather feel. Also, it covers patterned fabric completely. The best part is the chalk paint will work on any type of fabric. I have painted a couple fabric piece with it in the past and it turns out like leather. It repels coffee, soy sauce, blood, wine! Amazing and most importantly my family proof 🙂 Hope to heat from you soon, any and all advice appreciated! Dye vs chalk painting vs acrylic painting upholstery?!?! Paddy Peters You can find it at resellers who get ahold of the furniture manufacturer leftovers for 50-70% off a yard.

Unfortunately here in California l, I just found out after getting 4 estimates…it’s $1000+ per chair for the big Bakers and $450+ for the dining chairs-that’s with me providing the fabric!!! Of course I insisted on Crypton fabric-amazing revolution in fabric, way better than sunbrella! But expensive. Like you, I hatebuying throw away furniture-I’ll get good quality vintage anytime. I watched one other video where the gal said her chairs ended up feeling weird like they were “oily” and it was unpleasant to sit on them. What’s your take? My lawyer chairs are all polyester supposedly bulletproof Knoll commercial fabric designed to repel everything, buts it’s an ugly pale moss green in an ugly hospital waiting room like pattern-luckily pale. Of course, Rit says you can’t dye anything that you can’t boil in a bucket then put in washer on hot to set the dye-but pp are proving them wrong. Let it dry repeat then hit it with a blast from a garden hose followed by 2-3 days drying then dye fixative followed by scotchguard. I’ve seen people mix 2 bottles of rit in a bucket of boiling water stir and paint the mix onto dry velvet and chenillle. Luckily there’s fabric underneath each to test.

I also got an absolute steal on 2 Aero Saarinen executive arm chairs ($1750 off each chair!) from a lawyer shutting down his new office to work from home full time! So I cannot ruin any of these chairs. 2 big Baker Bergeres covered in white/cream linen type fabric and in great shape (totally unacceptable for my twin 11 year olds, but mostly their 6’5” 210# marmaduke of a dad who spills coffee often. I’m so glad I stumbled onto your site! I was just getting ready to order a couple tests cans of simply spray, while waiting for 2 bottles of Rit dye more to arrive.
