FAQs

What kind of fabrics can I use Fabricoat on?

Fabricoat is suitable for many fabrics, including cotton, linen, and some synthetic materials. It is not recommended for outdoor furniture or items exposed to prolonged sunlight or rain.

How do I prepare the fabric before painting?

Clean the fabric thoroughly and allow it to dry completely. Consider lightly sanding the surface for better paint adhesion.

How much paint do I need?

250ml covers 3 lampshades or a cushion. 500ml covers a dining chair, footstool, or jacket. 1 litre covers an armchair, headboard, or car seat. 2.5 litres covers a three-seater sofa or king bed frame. For fabrics with a pile or nap, such as velvet or microfibre, double the amount.

Can I use Fabricoat on outdoor furniture?

No, Fabricoat is not designed for outdoor furniture or fabrics exposed to prolonged sunlight or rain.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times vary; refer to the product label for specific details. Allow sufficient time for the paint to cure fully before use.

How do I clean the painted fabric?

Clean the painted fabric with a damp cloth or a gentle fabric cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Does the paint change the texture of the fabric?

No, the paint is designed to maintain the soft and flexible texture of the fabric.

What if I make a mistake?

If you notice a mistake while the paint is still wet, you can try to blot the area with a clean cloth. Once the paint is dry, it may be more difficult to correct. Always do a patch test first.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the fabric.

Ensure the fabric is clean and dry before application. Lightly sand the surface if necessary. Apply a primer specifically designed for fabric.

Color is not even.

Apply the paint in even strokes, ensuring complete coverage. Multiple thin coats usually give the best results.

The fabric feels stiff after painting.

Avoid applying too much paint at once. Multiple thin coats are better than a single thick coat. If the fabric still feels stiff, try using a fabric softener after the paint has dried.
